Meet Our Pastor
Rev. Randy Owens is a new arrival to the New Brighton area. He came to us by way of a pretty unique path. He was born and raised in eastern Ohio so his roots
are in northern Appalachia. He has pastored churches in Ohio and Michigan. For twelve years he and his wife, Judy, served as Global Missionaries for The Church of the Nazarene in the Middle East and West Africa. They love to travel and discover new places and cultures.
Pastor Randy is a graduate of Mount Vernon Nazarene University and Ashland Theological Seminary. He loves reading and learning new ways of thinking. Socrates said “An unexamined life is not worth living”. Pastor Randy is in agreement with that idea.
He looks forward to meeting new people and is always up for a good cup of coffee. He enjoys cycling and sports of all kinds. (He is sadly a fan of certain un-named teams to our west!). Adventure eating is one of his passions as well and he is always on the lookout for new ethnic restaurants!
The Owenses have two adult children. Nate, their son, is married and has two sons. He serves as a missionary for the Church of the Nazarene in the Philippines. Their daughter Jamie is a counselor living in Indiana where her husband is a youth pastor. They have two sons.
