Brandon Grant is the founding and current lead pastor of Rise City Church in Lakeside, CA - and he’s about to become the next lead pastor of Eastview Christian Church in Normal, IL. Originally from Illinois, Brandon and his family moved to the San Diego area to launch Rise City Church in 2013. In his ten years of leading Rise City, the church was able to help plant 13 new churches, baptize hundreds, gather thousands, and give away millions of dollars to community and global initiatives. Regarding Eastview, in many ways it’s a going back “home” for Brandon and his family. Brandon was on staff at Eastview for seven years as the college pastor before Eastview helped send him to plant Rise City. Brandon officially becomes the lead pastor of Eastview Christian Church on July 1, 2024. Brandon is married to the love of his life, Jamie, and he is the proud father of four - Elyse, Shepherd, Hope and Connor.
