Brad has been at Bethany for 10 years and feels so blessed to be shepherding this Body of Believers! He has enthusiasm for presenting God’s Word, for motivating others to grow in their faith, and for seeing people participate in mission experiences. He encourages disciple-making and strong relationships through small groups.

Brad and his wife, Lori, have three grown boys; two of which are married. The Stamey's love sports (especially basketball) and outdoor activities. Brad is a graduate of UNC–Chapel Hill, Southern Seminary, and Golden Gate Seminary.

Brad and Lori served as IMB missionaries in Moscow, Russia for 15 years. Their desire to see God’s glory among the nations continues to impact their approach in local church leadership. They are on a journey of learning and teaching what it means to die to self, and let Christ live through them.

Brian, a native of North Carolina, serves Bethany as the Minister of Discipleship. He received his B.A. in Business Administration from UNC-Charlotte and holds a M.Div. from Gardner-Webb University in Boiling Springs, NC.

Brian has a deep desire to see others grow in their walk with Christ, and his hope is for Bethany to continue pursuing Christ. In that pursuit he hopes to see lives being changed, souls being saved, and disciples being made! His passion is to point others to Christ daily through word and deed.
