Brad Wheeler

ADVISORY BOARD MEMBER

Brad is the senior pastor of University Baptist Church in Fayetteville, AR. 

Being raised in a Unitarian home, as many good New England children are. It was not until he moved to Santa Cruz, CA, that he first heard and believed the gospel through his (now) wife, Erin. He then established a career in investment consulting after graduating from Princeton University.

Yet “many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails” (Prov 19.21). Thus, in 2001 he happily joined the staff of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in DC, followed by an MDiv and ThM at Southern Seminary where he served as an elder at Third Avenue Baptist Church in Louisville, KY.

Brad has a keen interest in the biblical languages driving his sermons and ministry and is an invaluable asset to the BTF team. 

Brad and Erin have four children, Page, Maggie, William, and Eliza. Brad enjoys all things having to do with motorcycles, his family, travel, and dreaming of the water polo phenom he never was.
