The Rev. R. Brian Brock has been the pastor at Central since May 2010. He is a born and bred Southerner hence the R. Brian. If you ask for Robert he is going to start looking around for his father. A Presbyterian since being confirmed at Unity Presbyterian Church (USA) in Fort Mill, SC while in middle school, he attended the University of South Carolina after serving in the Navy as a nuclear electricians mate on submarines. He completed his Master of Divinity degree at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary and was ordained by Abingdon Presbytery in Southwest Virginia. He and his wife, Maggie, have enjoyed over 25 years of mostly wedded bliss. They are the proud parents of two grown sons, Andy and Wynn, and are the servants of two usually benevolent overlord cats. An unabashed foodie Pastor Brian likes to spend his spare time experimenting in the kitchen. He has been known to get lost in a good book. His family requests that you refrain from calling or texting when his beloved Gamecocks are on television because he is normally pacing around the house with his arms crossed using his sailor language. He is constantly trying to faithfully live up to the ideal found in Micah 6:8, "He has told you, human one, what is good and what the LORD requires from you: to do justice, embrace faithful love, and walk humbly with your God."
