Dr. Max Brand, Senior Pastor

Meet Dr. Max Brand, a Dedicated Steward of New Hope Church of Navasota.

As the Senior Pastor, Dr. Brand's leadership is characterized by warmth, wisdom, and a deep commitment to fostering a supportive and vibrant church family since he founded New Hope Church in January 2006.

Dr. Brand's journey in faith and education is both impressive and inspiring. He embarked on this path at Houston Baptist University, where he earned his Bachelor's degree in 1984. His passion led him to Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas, where he completed his Master's Degree in 1987, followed by a Doctorate in 1990. His ordination at the First Baptist Church of Houston by Dr. John R. Bisagno on June 16, 1985, marked the beginning of a remarkable journey in ministry.

With a heart as big as Texas, Dr. Brand brings to New Hope Church a rich tapestry of academic excellence and pastoral care. Under his guidance, New Hope Church has flourished into a sanctuary where all are welcome to find community, spiritual growth, and new beginnings.

Join us at New Hope Church of Navasota, where Dr. Max Brand continues to lead with passion, dedication, and vision. Here, you're not just attending church; you're becoming part of a spiritual family.
