Dr. Jesse Brannen, Pastor.

I am honored to serve as pastor at Lake Palestine UMC. As the pastor of this special congregation on beautiful Lake Palestine Texas, I believe that God has uniquely positioned this church to have a lasting impact on our community and the world. I hope you join us in this journey.

I also have the joy of being married to my lovely wife and partner of over 40 years, Susan. We have 3 grown children and 5 grandchildren. I am originally from Kentucky and Susan is from Pennsylvania.

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology from Kentucky Wesleyan College, a Master of Divinity degree from Southern Methodist University and a Doctor of Ministry degree from Midwest University.
