Branden Stathes

Branden originally grew up in Georgia but moved to Austin, Texas in 2009 where he spent the last 15 years pursuing and loving college students through Young Life at the University of Texas. He is a devoted family man and loves spending quality time his wife Ashley and their five children: John Cruze, Ryland, Sage, Raleigh, and Judah. Branden loves to coach his kids in any sport and thrives in the outdoors. He enjoys being active through sand volleyball, running and cold plunging. Most of all, Branden has a deep passion to help people experience a vibrant and personal relationship with God.

Why Search? I think Jesus models a ministry blueprint of relationships and conversations. Search embodies this to a tee and I’m thankful for the opportunity to sit with, listen to, and engage adults in my community.
