Lead Pastor
Brad & Katie Marschke
Brad Marschke is the Lead Pastor of CE Jax Beach. Brad and his wife, Katie, have been married since 2014, but have been together since high school in 2005. They have been blessed with two amazing children, one girl and one boy. In their free time, the Marschke family enjoys travelling, spending lots of time at the beach, as well as discovering new things in their own community such as restaurants, parks, and local attractions. They love supporting local businesses and events! Brad has a bachelor's degree in geology and used to work in the environmental industry until God called him into the ministry in his early 30's. After much prayer, Brad left his corporate career and gave his life over to Kingdom work full-time. In his ministry, Brad has worked as a chaplain, as well as a next generation pastor, but says that the major stirring in his heart has always been to take the seed God gives him and plant something from the roots up. Brad has a deep empathy and compassion for the hurting and burdened, and enjoys trading life change stories with any who are willing. Brad also has a major love for his community, enjoys raising up more leaders, and helping more people experience a full life in Jesus Christ!

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect on my first visit?
We can't wait to meet you! Plan to arrive at least 10-15 minutes early so you have time to park, check-in your kids, grab a coffee, and find a good seat! We strive to create a warm, welcoming environment and hope you feel right at home! Services last about an hour or so, and include worship music followed by a powerful message from the Bible! Services are generally upbeat with modern music and you’ll see people dressed casually, so just come as you are!
What should I wear?
Whatever's comfortable, but most dress casual. We care way more about you being here than what you're wearing!
Is there anything for my kids?
Yes! Kid Experience runs during each weekend worship service for kids birth through 5th grade. It's a safe, fun, age-appropriate environment where your kids will learn about Jesus and build friendships through activities, worship songs, creative teaching, and group discussion. We have a quick check-in area where you’ll register your family on your first visit, then briefly check-in on successive visits. Our goal is for your child to have a great time at church, make some positive friendships, and most of all grow closer to Jesus!
What are your beliefs?
Church Experience is a non-denominational Bible-teaching Christian church with beliefs firmly established on the Bible.
What translation of the Bible do you recommend?
There are many great English translations of the Bible, but in our CE weekend worship experiences we primarily use the New International Version (NIV) which is/has been the most widely used translation in English.
Who is the preacher at your church?
Church Experience is passionate about live, local preaching at each CE location. In order to stay connected as “one church” our Senior Pastor does preach through video to all CE locations about once a month at least for part of the message, while the majority of the preaching is in-person from our amazing local CE pastors. Each campus benefits from the same teaching series theme across the whole church, regardless of who is preaching that weekend.
You can learn more about our collective CE story and vision here.
What's the difference between your Senior Pastor and Lead Pastor?
Every CE campus has a Lead Pastor, but our whole church is led by our Senior Pastors, Brandon & Jennifer Bruce. A CE “Lead Pastor” is similar to a “Campus Pastor” (but also unique) from other multi-site churches. Church Experience has empowered our Lead Pastors at each campus to preach most of the time and make many leadership decisions at a local level. Each campus is not autonomous so the “Lead Pastors” do serve under the authority and accountability of Church Experience Senior Leadership (CE Board of Directors, Senior Pastors, & Senior Leadership Team). This combination of a pastor at the campus along with accountability outside the local campus allows lots of leadership decisions to be made locally, while also providing sufficient support, protection, and sustainability for the campus and CE as a united church. We believe this is a truly unique and beautiful model of ministry that allows CE to continually grow to reach more people in Jesus name without sacrificing the personal feel of church or the protection and quality for the people in the church!
How do I get connected when I'm ready?
We'd love to help you take your next step and get more involved with Church Experience! Stop by the Red Carpet after the service, fill out a Response Card, or Plan Your Visit ahead of time. From there, we can point you toward Life Groups, Serving Teams, our Growth Track, along with many other ways to grow in your relationship with God and His Church!
