Joel Brantner

Head of Staff/Pastor

 As the Pastor and Head of Staff at COV, it is my joy to preach God's Word, to lead COV's mission and strategy with an incredible staff, to care for God's flock, and to serve our surrounding community as a representative of Jesus Christ.  I have experienced God's blessing as a husband to Kristin and a father to Asa and Anna.  My life goal is that it might be said of me what was written about David, "...after he had served the purpose of God in his own generation, fell asleep and was laid with his fathers..." (Acts 13:36).
