Brian & Donna Dryden || Lead Pastors

Brian is a life-long Okeechobee resident. He attended and graduated from the Okeechobee School System. He then graduated from Indian River Community College with an AA degree in General Education. His next stop was the University of Florida where he graduated with a degree in Agriculture Education and Extension Education with a minor in Horticulture.

Brian grew up in the Okeechobee Church of God. His dad’s family were part of the Southern Baptists, but his mom’s family were Church of God people. Brian’s family attended both churches, so he had experience in both denominations. However, he was most influenced by the Church of God because he spent more time there.

Donna was born in Sweetwater, Tennessee. She attended school in Dalton, Georgia, but obtained her diploma from the Okeechobee County schools. Her family came from a Southern Baptist background.

Brian and Donna were married in 1993. They have 2 children grown children, both of whom are married; and they have two granddaughters. Brian and Donna were both saved, sanctified, and filled with the Holy Spirit 22 years ago while attending the Okeechobee Church of God. They served at that church as Youth Pastors for 7 years. They are both ordained through ICCM, International Congress of Churches and Ministers in Chatanooga, Tennessee. They have been at His Church for over 6 years and have served as Youth Pastors and assistants in the Church. They look forward to what the future holds for His Church as they lead the church forward in embracing the Power of the Holy Ghost and His anointing on the church and ministry.
