About Brad and Patty Brede

Brad Brede is a graduate of the 1981 class of Rhema Bible Training Center in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.  Brad holds ordination credentials with the Association of Faith Churches and Ministries (AFCM) and Rhema Ministerial Association International (RMAI).  Patty is a 1980 graduate of Rhema Bible Training Center and ordained with AFCM.

Brad has faithfully served as an AFCM
Regional Director since 1988.  He travels
extensively as a representative of Jim and
Kathleen Kaseman promoting the vision of
AFCM, encouraging and equipping pastors,
and strengthening churches.  He is
responsible for the care and oversight of
AFCM members in northern Minnesota, Iowa,
North and South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming,
and Nebraska.  He holds regularly scheduled
minister's meetings within his region and
ministers to members in other areas as
opportunity presents itself.

Brad Brede Ministries was established after
20 years of successful pastoral ministry
during which Brad and Patty rescued a
troubled church and founded another.  Brad
ministers throughout the United States
training believers to grow up in Christ and
contribute their supply with excellence.  He
also teaches people how to have healthy
and successful relationships with God and
one another.  God has moved in a powerful
way changing churches, homes, marriages, and families.  Brad has ministered in churches, seminars, campmeetings, Bible schools, youth camps and rallies, minister's conferences, and Bible studies.  Many lives have been transformed by the power of God as people received the Word that was taught.

In 1994, the Bredes established their first AFCM Summer Youth Camp in Minnesota.  Through the years they have been involved in many camps and have ministered to thousands of teenagers and hundreds of youth workers.  Presently, the numbers represent 200 churches, 22 states, and 3 foreign countries.  The results have been nothing short of miraculous!  The camps have drastically altered the course of many lives, propelling them in the direction of their divine destiny.

Xtreme Passion was founded in 2005, a ministry devoted to helping teenagers and young adults passionately pursue the purposes of God.   The ministry has become a source of information and inspiration for youth and youth ministers.  It encourages a working together of youth groups, helps connect youth to a local youth ministry, and assists local churches in building their youth ministries.  Xtreme Passion organizes youth camps, rallies, conferences, and other special events and maintains a ministry team skilled in ministering to teenagers.  It also mobilizes young people to take the “message of faith” to the world through its connection with One Word Missions.

Brad and Patty founded Xtreme Life Church in Great Falls, Montana in 2006.  As pastors, they continue to assist the church in whatever way possible to become a loving, growing, and influential congregation in that city.

Youth Ministry
Wake Up! Look Up!
They started Xtreme Life Training Center in September of 2007.  It is a school designed to help young people ages 18-30 make a successful transition into adulthood, avoid costly mistakes, and accurately pursue God’s plan for their lives.  It is an intense program during which young adults are taught biblical, relational, and practical subjects.  It is an innovative approach to higher education.  It prepares young adults for life, not just a career.  It equips them with the life skills that are necessary to succeed - from knowing God’s will, to finding a mate, to cooking and cleaning - and much more.

Brad's twenty-eight years of ministry experience, his simplicity in teaching the Word of God, and fervent desire to help people experience the true outpouring of God's Spirit combine to make a powerful minister of the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.  He and his wife Patty share the responsibilities of the ministry working together in harmony to promote the plans and purposes of God.
Brad and Patty have been together for 35 years and have a great marriage.  Their immediate family is made up of three adult children (Jason, Jennifer, and Joshua), a son-in-law (Nick), a daughter-in-law (Heather), five grandchildren (Kiley, Tiara, Lucas, Christian, and Isaiah), and Austin.  Austin is kind of an adopted grandson.  He has become part of the family and dearly loved.  Kiley is a born leader and very bold.  Tiara is more quiet and reserved, and a perfectionist - a quality she likely inherited from her Grandpa.  Lucas is all boy and just like his dad. 

Jason lives in the Twin Cities and is employed by Sears Imports working on exotic cars.  Nick and Jenny are very involved in the ministry.  Jenny is employed by Brad Brede Ministries.  Josh and Heather are expecting their first child.  Josh works as a stainless steel welder.  Brad and Patty deeply love and appreciate all their family members and are extremely proud of each one.

Besides ministry and family, Brad enjoys golfing, snowmobiling, and landscaping.  He is a sports enthusiast and a big NHRA drag race fan.  He likes Italian food and IN-N-OUT burgers.  Patty enjoys shopping, cooking, and spoiling the grandchildren.  She can find a deal anywhere and cook some awesome meals.  She loves to give and show mercy to others.  Some of their favorite places to visit are California and Florida, especially Disney World.  They love the United States of America and want their country to fulfill its God-given destiny.  Most of all, they desire is to see people come to the knowledge of the truth and walk in the ways of the Lord.
