Next Generation Pastor of Mt. Vernon FBC

Adam Olinger

Start Date: September 1, 2019

Education: BA in Christian Ministry from Leavell College of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.

Family: My wife’s name is Brook, and she’s pretty great.

What you like to do: I enjoy watching hockey, my favorite teams are the Vancouver Canucks and the Dallas Stars. Brook and I enjoy going to aquariums and zoos. Also fishing is a fun hobby.

3 Favorite Movies: Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, and Indiana Jones.

Favorite Meal: I enjoy a nice steak every now and then.

Favorite Book: “The Insanity of God” by Nik Ripken

Most Embarrassing Moment: I was trying to brag to my parents about being ladies man. Without breaking eye contact I leaned in to take a sip of my drink and chased my straw around with my tongue for about 20 seconds. I’m sure they thought it was a miracle when I found a wife.

Pastor of New Hope Baptist Church

Jeff Braddock

  Send Email  •  (417)749-2606

Pastor Jeff Braddock was raised on a farm in rural Southeastern Illinois.  He was saved in a revival meeting at the age of nine, and at the young age of 16 answered God's call to the ministry.  The same month, Jeff began to date his future wife, Scarlet.

 

After high school, both Jeff and Scarlet attended Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri.  During the summer of 2000 they got married.  In 2002, Scarlet completed training to become a high school English teacher.  She later became a school librarian.  The next summer, Jeff graduated with a degree in Pastoral Ministry.  A little over a year after Jeff graduated, he was led to his first church, New Hope.

 

In August of 2013, the Braddocks adopted a little girl, Jessie.  In June, 2017, the family grew to five as they also adopted two little boys, John and James.  Jeff's time as pastor has been one of learning, development, and growth for him, Scarlet, and the church.  They feel very blessed that God has led them to this church family and are excited to see what He will do in the future.
