NORMAL – A new season is on the horizon for one of the largest churches in McLean County.
Eastview Christian Church in Bloomington announced Brandon Grant is the church’s next lead pastor.
Grant, who graduated from Illinois Wesleyan University in 2003, joined Eastview in 2006.
He met his wife, Jamie, during his tenure and obtained his Master’s degree from Lincoln Christian Seminary in 2009.
After graduation, Grant and his wife moved to San Diego, Calif. to launch Rise City Church.
“We are so humbled and honored to now be coming back to join alongside thousands of amazing people to be collectively used by God in incredible ways,” Grant said in a news release. “We cannot wait to be a part of all that God has in store in the upcoming years through Eastview.”
Now, Grant returns to a place he calls home, but now with four kids, ages 13, 11, nine and seven.
