It is with profound sorrow and heavy hearts that we share the tragic passing of three beloved members of our church family. On the night of Sunday, July 6, 2025, Rod, Cindy, and their son Jace Bryant were involved in a devastating car accident that claimed all of their lives.

This loss is incomprehensible. A family deeply rooted in faith, love, and service, the Bryants were known not only as members of our congregation, but as cherished friends, leaders, and compassionate hearts who truly lived to serve the Lord and others. Their absence leaves a void that cannot be filled.

🕊️ A Family of Faith and Service

Rod and Cindy were pillars of our church community—steadfast in their faith, generous with their time, and unwavering in their kindness. Their son Jace, full of life and joy, was a beacon of youthful energy and promise. Together, the Bryant family modeled what it means to walk in faith and love, always reflecting the heart of Christ in all they did.

Whether through serving meals, teaching Sunday school, leading Bible studies, or simply offering a comforting presence to others, the Bryants lived lives of humility and purpose. Their legacy of love, compassion, and commitment to the Kingdom of God will continue to inspire those of us who remain.

🙏 A Time for Mourning and Prayer

This is a moment of unimaginable grief for our church and for all who were blessed to know the Bryants. As a community, we are mourning together—but we do not mourn as those without hope. Our trust in the promises of God sustains us even in the darkest of valleys.

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” – Psalm 34:18

We ask that you lift up the extended Bryant family in your prayers. Pray for comfort, for strength, and for the peace that only Christ can bring. Surround them with love in this hour of sorrow and hold them up as they navigate the overwhelming loss of three beautiful souls.

🌟 A Legacy That Lives On

Though their earthly lives were cut short, the spiritual legacy of Rod, Cindy, and Jace continues. They were passionate servants of the Lord—faithful in word and action. Their lives were a testimony to the power of grace, the depth of family love, and the joy found in following Jesus.

They are now reunited in glory, embraced by our Heavenly Father, where pain and sorrow no longer exist. While our hearts ache here, we are comforted knowing they are in the eternal presence of the One they loved most.

📅 Service Details

Information regarding a memorial service for the Bryant family will be shared in the coming days. We ask for continued patience and respect for the family as they work through arrangements during this heartbreaking time.

✝️ We Grieve, But With Hope

In times like these, we lean into the promises of God’s Word. We cry out in our sorrow, but we also hold firm to the assurance that death is not the end for those in Christ.

“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain…” – Revelation 21:4

Rod, Cindy, and Jace—your lives have blessed so many. Though we will miss you beyond measure, we will carry your light and your faith with us, always.

May your souls rest in perfect peace in the arms of our Savior.

Until we meet again.
