Brad Funnell

Brad was born and raised in Surrey. He was invited to church by a friend when he was six years old, and he and his family came to faith shortly after that. After high school, Brad studied Acting for Film and Television at Vancouver Film School. He spent most of his twenties pursuing a career in acting. He served his church by acting, writing, and directing plays, being a youth leader, and being a missions team member.

At 29, Brad felt the call to ministry. He soon began studying at Pacific Life Bible College, earning a BA in Pastoral Leadership and Christian Apologetics. He is currently pursuing an MDiv at Carey Theological College. Previously, Brad served at Calvary Church in the Fraser Heights neighbourhood in Surrey, spending three years as a pastoral intern and seven years as a student ministries pastor. He and his family love the close-knit community at Berea.

Brad and his wife, Melissa, have three young children. Brad enjoys chasing his kids while pretending to be a monster, visiting parks and beaches with his family, exploring trails all over the Lower Mainland, visiting coffee shops, cooking, reading, and learning new skills.
