A Message From Brandon Goad, Incoming Lead Pastor

Published June 10, 2026

Hey Harbor Cov!

When we got home on May 17, we hit the ground running and won’t stop until we’re with y’all again in July. In fact, Beth will arrive in Gig Harbor on June 20, and the rest of us will follow just ten days later. That means it’s only three weeks until we’re setting up our new home! Three weeks! Only nineteen sleeps!

Before we get there, I just wanted to say thank you for calling me. Thank you for trusting the search team and the Leadership Team and the staff and most importantly God with the process. Thank you for staying faithful during this transitional season for Harbor Cov. Thank you for your prayers during this transitional season for my family. I truly cannot express how grateful and honored I am to serve you.

As we prepare to leave Colorado, please pray for…

  • Our house projects, that I get everything done so we can get our house sold as quickly as possible.
  • Beth as she begins her new role at University of Puget Sound.
  • Safe travels for our kids as they spend a week in Kentucky with my mom before we move.
  • Hillside Church as they enter the season of transition you just experienced.

We can’t wait to make Gig Harbor our new home and we’re praying for you as you’re praying for us.

- Brandon
