Rev. Brandon Smith

Co-Pastor

Pastor Brandon and his wife Stephanie have been at Heartland since the summer of 2016. They grew up in the same church in Kokomo, serving together as youth leaders. Brandon grew up with a speech impediment, so as a 12-year old he prayed, “God, if you heal me then I’ll become a pastor.” Ten years later…God did. So after studying in Holland, Michigan (Hope College and Western Theological Seminary), Brandon became a pastor. In his free time, Brandon treasures time with his three young kids, enjoys all things nature, and loves the laughter of friends.
