Brett Rickey came to be the Lead Pastor of Highland Park Church in February of 2009. Brett’s ministry blends his experiences from eleven years in corporate life with his nine years as the founding pastor of FamilyChurch.tv . He also serves as a coach and mentor to new church pastors across the country and hosts Accelerate, an annual church planting conference.

His heart is to see a church, representing all generations and demographics, on fire for the Lord and moved in such a way as to intersect our community and world with the Kingdom of God.
