Meet the Pastors!

Pastors lead in shepherding. They oversee the church through preaching, teaching, prayer, and vision. Our pastors serve as a team of both paid and unpaid men. 

  • Scott Bradley

    Lay Pastor

    Dr. Scott grew up in this church and is a graduate of Bethesda Christian Schools, where he fell in love with his wife Joanna. He and Joanna have three kids. Scott is a research chemist and a chemistry teacher at BCS. While Scott really adds to the chemistry of the pastoral team, the other pastors rarely understand what he is talking about when he begins to discuss atoms, neutrons, and calculus equations. He serves as a lay pastor who oversees member care and he enjoys teaching people the doctrines of Scripture. 

    Email Pastor Scott.

    John is a 3rd generation member and a 2nd generation pastor at Parkside! He graduated from Moody Bible Institute with a degree in Biblical Studies. John and his wife Emma live on the south side of Brownsburg and welcomed their first child in 2024! You are most likely to find John in a secluded corner of a coffeehouse, playing disc golf out at Northwest Community Park with Pastor Kasey, or playing games with Emma and family.

    Len has been a member of the church for over 60 years having served with his late wife, Margo, in various ministries during that time. Currently, he teaches an adult Sunday School class in addition to member care ministry. Len married Diana in early 2024, and has enjoyed loving on Diana's grandchildren.
