Pastor Brad & Samantha French

Lead Pastor | Founders

Email: brad@thefathersheartcollective.org


Hi everyone, we’re Brad and Samantha! We moved to Falcon, Colorado in 2020 to pursue God’s calling to start a church. After months of prayer and fasting, God led us to launch a different form of church than we anticipated: Microchurch. So, we set out and joined the missional wave of disciple-making and microchurch movements sweeping across the globe. We train people to live as missionaries, help them plant the gospel in their relational contexts, and encourage microhurches to emerge. We are passionate about multiplying leaders who will do the same!

We’re originally from Western Pennsylvania (Go Steelers!) and have served in ministry together for over 17 years. We’ve been married since 2007 and have four awesome kids! I (Brad) was a worship pastor for most of my early ministry (with a stint of youth ministry at the very beginning) and hold a Master’s of Divinity degree from Rockbridge Seminary and a Bachelor’s of Music from Grove City College. For fun, I enjoy playing electric and acoustic guitar, songwriting, reading—an affinity I share with my daughter, playing football and collecting football cards with my boys as well as watching NFL games with our family, playing board games and card games, being in the mountains, and frisbee golf, which taps into my true love for regular golf. We love Colorado, especially El Paso County!

Please reach out and connect with us. We love to chat about, well, anything really. But we’d love to connect over some great coffee and hear what God is doing in your life!
