Brad Lafferty

My name is Brad Lafferty.  I’m from Saint Louis, Missouri, and now live in Saint Charles with my wife and two children.  I work for General Motors, and am a Chaplain for UAW Local 2250 there.  I am a member of Grace Baptist Church, where I sing in the choir, and am currently seeking a Master‘s degree in Church Ministry and Biblical Counseling from Baptist Bible College in Springfield, Mo.

I would love to tell you that I have had a lifelong passion for the theater (because that would make for riveting reading), but, truth be told, I’ve been in three plays, and, at best, a half dozen youth group skits my whole life.  If my daughter weren’t studying theater, I probably wouldn’t go to too many plays, either.  Obviously, I’m not here to be part of the sales department.

What I am here for is this… anytime anyone is willing to commit themselves to engaging our culture in the name of Christ, I’m behind them.  For too long we Christians have sat idly by, while others have taken the arts away from their original purpose… to praise and glorify God.  I believe that this world needs, more than ever, people willing to step out, in faith, and proclaim the goodness and majesty of God to a lost and dying world, and that the theater is a very good place to start.  

My DTC production experience is made up with playing Doc in If the Good Lord's Willing and the Creek Don't Rise.

Our God is a creator… let us also be creative as we worship Him.
