The Rev. Bradley Sullivan, Assistant Rector and Youth & Young Adults Minister - bradaa23@hotmail.com
Brad is a cradle Episcopalian and was raised in Houston since he was two years old.  Having grown up in the church, Brad discovered a longing to know more about God in high school and years later, found that desire beautifully expressed in Psalm 62:1, "For God alone my soul in silence waits; from him comes my salvation."  As the Assistant Rector at Emmanuel, Brad's primary focus in ministry is welcoming newcomers, and his passions are preaching, teaching, and evangelism.  Brad's hope in evangelism is not to try to convert everyone to the faith, but rather to help Christians enjoy sharing their faith by finding and sharing the joy that faith in Christ brings
