Brad & Kim Oyler
Lead Pastors
People typically describe our Lead Pastors, Brad and Kim Oyler, as very down to earth, relatable and friendly. They are each unique in their personalities and lead with their individual strengths. Brad is fun and silly and Kim is more task oriented but they are both “people persons”. They love the people of CLC and are available to them. Brad and Kim are both very hard workers. They value hard work, dedication, unity and their personal relationship with God. They feel “called for life” to CLC.
Or Pastors have been married for 33 years. They have 4 children- all boys. Two are grown and married and have given them beautiful grandbabies that they are obsessed with!
They are also still raising 2 boys, ages 15 and 14, that are very active in the church.
Brad and Kim were both raised in Independence their whole lives, graduating from both Truman and Fort Osage high schools.
Brad has quite a testimony- he graduated from high school in 1982 both illiterate and an alcoholic. He was saved at 24 years old and has never looked back! He always shares that he littered in the parking lot the night he got saved, throwing his cigarettes out the window. He went home and dumped all alcohol down the sink and has never had a drink since. He says he felt called into the ministry very soon after and has had a passion for the lost and broken that has not wavered over the years. When he made the decision for growth, he said, “Lord, you’re going to have to teach me to read”… and He did! Brad began by reading a children’s Bible. He is now an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God. Brad is an incredible man of perseverance and integrity. He is relatable, a man’s man and a likable friend.
Kim grew up in a Christian home. She married young at the age of 20. For many years, she supported Brad’s calling but simply supported behind the scenes. She also experienced years of infertility, which created many years of pain. Life seemed to stack insult to injury with deep church ministry hurt. At one point the anger and bitterness began taking over. But God. In an unexpected scenario, in a Mother’s Day service out of town, God spoke directly to her heart that day. In a moment, she knew that God SAW her! In an instant, He healed her brokenness and began calling her to lead others to the same freedom she had found. As she began walking out her healing through obedience and submission, He began calling her to what was NEXT. Within 2 years of this experience, Courageous Life Church was birthed in a miraculous way! (We’ll save that story for later)
Together Brad and Kim are passionate about ministry. They serve as co-pastors, each operating in the gifts and strengths He has gifted and cultivated in them. They are both filled with the Holy Spirit and walk in the boldness of Gods truth and blessing in their lives. They enjoy serving with excellence and impact in mind!
Their passion is to help people KNOW and GROW. They want people to know their wonderful savior and grow to become exactly who God created them to be!
