Hello! My name is Brad Riley. As director, I have the privilege of seeing people find renewed hope in their lives as they come into the Center from all walks of life, dealing with the many painful issues of life. All our therapists are licensed and have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. As such, they bring a Christian worldview to the many problems areas of life, and seek to bring Jesus’ grace, mercy and love to the people they help.
I am an ordained elder in the Church of the Nazarene. With a background in business and marketing for over 18 years, I followed a call into full-time Christian ministry in 1998, and have served in pastorates in San Antonio, TX and Wichita, KS. My wife Rhonda and I have been married for over 25 years and have two teenage children. Together we worship as a family at First Church of the Nazarene where I also serve as Associate Pastor.
As a minister in the Wichita community, bringing people together to experience the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ has always been my passion. In 2000, I developed the Living Waters Ministry Center through First Church of the Nazarene to bring food and other necessities to the Inner city around the church. In 2007, I began a teaching ministry called the Merciful Servants of Christ; an organization dedicated to teaching believers how to live the merciful life Jesus calls his followers to. And, in 2009, I co-founded the Ecumenical Christian Prayer Group that brings Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox Christians together for prayer on the first Friday of each month. Brining hope to hurting lives is the passion of my ministry and the vision of the Christian Counseling Center. For more information on our Center please visit our website or give me a call. I am available to speak to groups and congregations as well.
