Brent Brunson, Associate PastorBorn and raised in South Carolina in a pastor's home, Brent has always known church music. After seeing the movie The Preacher's Wife at 12 years old, a true passion for choir began to build within him. That movie, featuring the soulful Georgia Mass Choir, started in Brent something that still excites him today -- a group of people from different walks of life coming together for one purpose -- glorifying God through music. Since then, Brent has been influenced by the sounds of the Christ Church Choir, the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir, and many others.At 13 years old, Brent attended the Steve Hurst School of Music in Nashville. There he met the love of his life, Geniece - they married June 4, 2005. Brent moved to Cookeville and starting attending Poplar Grove, where Geniece is a lifelong member. Brent graduated from North Greenville University with a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication. |
