Preaching @ Water's Edge
My name’s Bradley Buhro and online you can find me as pastorbuhro on twitter, facebook, flickr and more. I’m Michelle’s husband. I’m the proud father of five. (Four boys and then to make my wife happy and to keep me from getting comfortable God gave us a little girl.) I’m the senior pastor at the Anderson Southdale Church of the Nazarene. (Yes, I do pastor the Starship Enterprise, and those are my quarters… er… office right there.) And when I’m not doing all that, I’m the technology geek and video dude for the Northeastern Indiana NYI.
I started ministry with 15 years of full time youth ministry. I served for 7 years at a small church (attendance about 80) in Decatur, Illinois, and then spent 8 years at the Middletown Church of the Nazarene, a much larger church (attendance about 500). ( Just to be clear, we’re talking about the Middletown, Indiana in Henry County – can you believe that Indiana has 3 Middletowns?) So I’ve experienced life on both sides of the small church/big church tracks.
In August of 2011 I accepted the call to pastor the good people of Southdale, or SDNC as I like to call them. It’s a new position for me, but a familiar field. SDNC is only 8 miles away from Middletown, and literally just down the street from my old church.

I was brought up in the Church of the Nazarene, and have felt the call to ministry since I was 9. Never imagined being a youth pastor, and certainly never imagined being a youth pastor for this long. But this is where God has called me, and I’m loving it. I went to college at Olivet Nazarene University, major in religion, minors in Spanish and Koine Greek. I married my high school sweetheart. I was ordained in the Church of the Nazarene by Dr. Jerry Porter. And I teach the Wesleyan Theology class for the Northeastern Indiana School of Ministry program.

Thanks for the mention.
love this comment- What would happen if we gave the same consideration to the images & icons we display that we give to the words we say?
writing a book about images of Christ (asking where have they gone?) and about my Thesis- The Case for an Emotional Jesus in Painting. building a new web site w/ my paintings of Jesus soon. hope to stay in touch, KATA
PS. my rock and roll art makes light fun of the rock and roll icons who we sometimes “worship”
u r a great pastor.<3 :)
Thanks, Yolanda.
With teens like y’all that’s not that difficult. ;-)
