Meet our Pastor
Brandon Hiltibidal
I grew up in North Carolina in churches filled with sweet people and lots of rules. It was in one of these churches that I prayed to accept Christ at a young age. It wasn't until my late 20s that I began to learn (to paraphrase Tim Keller) that there is nothing I could ever do to make God approve of me any more than He already does, and there’s nothing I could ever do to make God approve of me any less because He already sees me like He sees Jesus (Romans 8:1-2; Ephesians 1:7; 2 Corinthians 5:17). This freeing truth shapes how I preach, how I shepherd in the church, and hopefully, everything else about my life.
I’m married to Scarlet, who’s not only the most fun person I know but also an incredible mom and an author of books for Christian women. We have four kids Ever, Joy, Dewy, and James. Ever is hilarious, a natural leader, and has a beautiful singing voice. Joy is adopted from China, and we have witnessed her transformation from a sick, Deaf four-year-old into a selfless, joyful, resilient young girl. Dewy is adventurous and loves to tap dance and play with her puppy, Daisy. James likes his stuffed carrot and only his stuffed carrot. In my free time, I love reading and playing racquet sports (tennis, table tennis, and pickleball). I also enjoy following sports in general. I rarely watch, but I like to read about what might happen and then read about what actually happened.
Before coming to Grace, I was honored to preach and lead at some of the best churches in the world. I’m so grateful for how I’ve seen God work through “regular” people to do significant things in His name. Additionally, I spent nine years serving churches through Lifeway Christian Resources, including leading discipleship publishing there.
I joined the Grace team in August of 2025, and my hope and prayer is to lead a worshipful people committed to joyfully being and making disciples of Jesus. He is the best thing that can ever happen to anybody, and I want us to advance His work in our city and around the world.
