Dr. Brad Maston

Leadership Coach
Dr. Brad Maston is a pastor, teacher, and theologian whose journey with Jesus Christ has shaped a life of deep ministry, thoughtful scholarship, and unwavering commitment to the Word of God. As the lead pastor of Fort Collins Bible Church in Fort Collins, Colorado, Brad is known for his expository teaching, pastoral warmth, and passion for equipping believers to grow in grace and truth. Brad’s path into ministry began with a degree in music from Colorado State University, but it wasn’t long before his calling expanded beyond music into full-time gospel work. His theological journey led him to earn a Master’s in Biblical Theology, followed by a Ph.D. in Jewish Studies, with a concentration in intertestamental literature. Along the way, he immersed himself in pastoral roles—serving as a missionary, youth pastor, music minister, and Bible teacher. Brad’s heart beats for the local church, and at Fort Collins Bible Church, he leads with a focus on clear, verse-by-verse teaching of the Bible. He believes in making theology accessible, encouraging believers to think deeply and live faithfully. This commitment extends into his work Agathon University, where he serves as Executive Vice President and continues training the next generation of Christian leaders. Beyond the pulpit and the classroom, Brad is also a regular voice on Grace Global Radio, where his daily teaching segment "A Minute for the Bible" challenges and encourages listeners around the world. He’s the co-founder of True Grace Books, a publishing venture that reflects his love for doctrinal clarity and biblical devotion. A devoted husband and father of four, Brad shares life and ministry with his wife, April. Whether he's discipling young believers at Camp Arete, preaching on a Sunday morning, or penning a theological commentary, Brad Maston is driven by one clear aim: to glorify Jesus Christ by proclaiming His Word and building up His Church.
