Family and Ministry Journey

Pastor Faulkner’s life underwent a profound transformation in 2003. As a child, he made a
profession of faith, but it did not bring real change, leaving him confused about his
experience. Years later, his wife and their young daughter began attending church, and he
would occasionally join them. A pivotal moment came when his uncle, who lived in the North
Carolina mountains, had invited them for a visit. During their time there, they attended
church that Sunday. That morning, the Pastor was preaching on “What Every Sinner Needs to
Know”. Juanita went to the altar, repented, and placed her trust in Christ alone for salvation.
Six months later, a visiting evangelist was conducting a revival. That evangelist’s wife stood
up that Sunday morning to share her testimony, which deeply convicted Brian’s heart and
revealed to him that he was a lost religious man sitting in a church pew. On that day, he was
gloriously saved and transformed. Just two years later, in 2005, he was called by God to
preach, dedicating himself to spreading God’s word through preaching and teaching
wherever possible.

Mission Work and Pastoral Experience

Pastor Faulkner’s devotion to God’s work led him to Kharkov, Ukraine, from 2014 to 2016,
where he partnered with a veteran missionary to build the church both physically and
spiritually. After his time abroad, he served as a pastor in Geauga County, Ohio, for nearly
three years, focusing on reaching the lost in the community and helping church members
grow closer to the Lord through biblical teaching, preaching, discipleship, and counseling.

A New Chapter at West Beech Baptist Church

Now, Pastor Faulkner is excited to step into his role as pastor at West Beech Baptist Church.
Together with his wife, he eagerly anticipates how God will move and work within the
congregation and the community. With a strong foundation in faith and a passion for ministry,
Pastor Faulkner is committed to guiding the church toward spiritual growth and fostering a
zeal for reaching the lost.
We invite you to join us on this inspiring journey and become part of our warm and welcoming
church family. Alongside Pastor Faulkner and his loved ones, we look forward to witnessing
the blessings and grace that God has in store for those who love Him, and the gift of salvation
for those who have yet to know Him.
