My name is Brian Schwartz and I am excited to serve as the interim lead pastor at The Bridge Wesleyan Church! My wife, Lauren, and I moved to Pierre, SD in September 2025 from Watford City, ND where we met and spent the last 12 years. I am originally from Tennessee, and my wife is originally from Montana; however, we both enjoy spending time outdoors hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, and more. Over the course of the last several years, we have felt God calling us into ministry while we were working in the natural resource sector. When we first got married, we were involved in the kids’ Wednesday night program at our church. From there, God grew us to become part-time youth leaders. After that, we felt God calling us to something more and have been on the journey into vocational ministry over the last couple years. We look forward to serving The Bridge family in the Pierre/Fort Pierre area while God has called us here.

God Bless,

Brian and Lauren Schwartz
