Meet the DLTs: Pastor Brandin Greco
September 25, 2019 / By Pastor Brandin Greco / 1 Comment
Many blessings family, I am Brandin Greco, pastor of the Lycoming United Methodist Church, located in the shadow of the Nine Mile power plant cooling tower in beautiful Oswego county on the shores of Lake Ontario. Pretty much a hometown boy raised in the town of Mexico, a short distance from my church family, I spent the first third of my adult life touring with the Army Band all over the world. No matter where I performed, the one thing I found most important in what ever I did was personal connections. Admittedly I spent the majority of my life on the outskirts of faith, faced with many hardships and loss and it was those personal connections and my love of music that God used to find that faith and belief that I was missing.
Fast forward to my 40s and it is those same things that made me a disciple that God is using my church family and myself to continue to make disciples of Christ. We use personal connections in every step of the disciple making process, from making connections in our community through ministries and community involvement to creating a worship environment that is warm and inviting, exciting and inspiring, open and family filled. All our small groups are designed to make people comfortable and to help continue beyond Sunday worship in furthering our relationships with Christ. Of course, all of that is sprinkled with a bit of the gifts that have been given to my family through music.
No matter where the Lycoming family is, whether it is feeding and clothing our community, enjoying some Holy Spirit filled worship, sitting in a circle and sharing scripture and how God is moving in our lives, or one of the many group activities we share through our youth and adult group ministries, it is never a doubt the we are “God centered, Christ led, and Holy Spirit Filled.” We truly live by what the sign says outside our church building, “All are welcome, none are turned away.”

I am so blessed to have the privilege of knowing Brandin and his family. Because of him, I now have more faith in our Lord Jesus.
He touched my soul during the "The Edge" sessions.
