Church Staff

Jerry Creel

Co-Pastor

Pastor Creel has celebrated 53 years at Brush Arbor Baptist. While attending Florida Technical College (now UCF), he was called to begin a church on the east side of Orlando with three families. The church was soon able to purchase property and build a building on Goldenrod Road. The ministry has continued to grow under Pastor Creel’s leadership including the beginning of a Christian school in the 70’s. They have one daughter, Kimberly, who works as the principal of Brush Arbor Christian School and resides in Orlando with her husband David. Pastor Creel has recently begun enjoying semi-retirement as he and his wife have begun traveling out of town more frequently. He continues to serve in the regular preaching and teaching of the church and leads the Keenagers Senior Saint ministry. His ministry in Brush Arbor Christian School has also continued as he oversees and manages the school's budgetary responsibilities.
