Brad's Bistro:Guest Ministries

Although I am no longer in full time vocational ministry, my heart is still to do what I can to help out the local church in accomplishing its kingdom ministry and mission. To that end, if you have need to fill your pulpit due to a short term vacancy or vacation I can be available to help out. I have also had extensive experience in worship leading. Please feel free to peruse other resources on this site such as my bible studies or articles, as well as some of the music that I have written and used as as worship leader if you want to get to know me a little. You can also watch a video of a devotional I presented for a memorial service here.

If you think I may be able to assist, please call me at 408-799-8011 or drop me an email at bradkunkel@gmail.com. I would be happy to get together to chat about your situation and how I might be able to help accomplish your ministry.

During our time of a Pastoral search a few years ago, Brad Kunkel filled in admirably for us at CCC. His ease at communicating with everyone left a lasting impact on our church members to educate themselves further in the scriptures and their relevance in our lives today. Brad's demeanor (friendliness) alone is a great attraction for any church needing to find a Pastor or just filling the pulpit!

-Malcolm Bolduc, Central Community Church, Hanford CA

Brad has filled in for our senior pastor on a number of occasions and has done an outstanding job. His speaking comes with deep spiritual insight married to an engaging oratory style and everyone loves it when he can be here. He has also stood in for me as a worship leader and brings a real heart for worship, highly professional approach, and sensitivity to the congregation to that task.

-Don Bosco, Pastor of Worship Arts, 1st Presbyterian Church of Santa Clara

I would highly recommend Brad Kunkel to you. He is passionate about worship and leading others into a dynamic worship experience. Brad is a skilled guitar player, singer and song writer. In addition, he brings with him the depth of many years of pastoral experience. Brad is an engaging teacher and leader. He is excited about teaching and training others in the work of the ministry to which God calls us all. He is highly committed to being an equipper and trainer.

-Larry Albright, Pastor of Worship at Lincoln Glen Church
