Stephen and Bradford Phelan
I, Stephen, grew up in Montgomery, Alabama and then spent eight years in Charlottesville, Virginia, pursuing an undergraduate degree and also a law degree at the University of Virginia. During this time my lovely bride Bradford came waltzing into my life and blessed me beyond any measure that I ever thought was possible. Bradford grew up in Birmingham, Alabama, and went to Auburn University. She graciously put me through law school by using her gifts as a preschool special education teacher, but I just couldn't get enough of the academic world, so I went to Orlando to pursue a Masters of Divinity at Reformed Theological Seminary.
After my wife put her foot down and said, "No more school!" we headed West where I became the Director of Mercy Ministry for Harbor Presbyterian and also an Assistant Church Planter. While in San Diego, God opened the heavens and rained down the blessing of little Ford Phelan, whom we adopted in Los Angeles upon birth. Nine months later, the heavens opened up again as we gave birth to our precious little daughter, Milly Carlisle Phelan. Bradford and I are currently in the process of planting this new church in the Mid-City area that is seeking to bridge race, class, and culture through the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.
