Greg Cooper, Lead Pastor

Welcome and thank you for visiting Brightside. I hope you can find helpful information here and the answers to your questions.  It is my hope and prayer that we can minister to your family and connect you with the hope of God that is found through Jesus. We are looking forward to meeting you and ministering to your family.  Please feel free to contact me with your questions and comments. Greg@Brightside.org

Counseling: Don’t lose hope – find the help you need.  I have a real concern that many people who need help have no idea where to turn.  You don’t have to walk through the trials and problems of life alone. If you need someone to talk to you, a place to ask frank questions, and find real answers – I am here for you. Just let me know and we can set up a time to talk.
