Meet Pastor Brady and his family! The pastor has been married to his wife Jessica for 12 years. They met in high school (Piedmont, OK), but didn't begin dating until a few years later, when Brady was serving in the U.S. Navy. They got married in 2011, and, shortly after, welcomed their first child, Theo (now 11) in October of 2012. Brady left the Navy at the end of 2014, and found civilian work in Tulsa; so the DeGroot family settled in Tulsa. Brady immediately became heavily involved in the Sunday School department at his local church, and he and Jessica both started driving a church van to underprivileged areas of the community and picked up people for church.

 

In 2016, the welcomed their daughter Bethany (now 7) to the family. This was also the same year that Brady's pastor at the time approached him about enrolling in Bible College. So that's what he did. In 2019, Brady graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Ministry and Theology from Hope International University. Now, in 2024, Brady and Jessica have stepped out on faith in their calling to found a church in Tulsa that is committed to reaching people of all ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds with the gospel of Jesus Christ. They have a heart for their community, and the people within it. We hope to see you soon, at Praise Church!!
