Holdman preaching in 2021

Brycen Thomas Holdman (born September 18, 1997) is an American preacher, evangelist[1], and writer. He currently serves at Mt. Horeb United Methodist Church, a megachurch in Lexington, South Carolina.

Early life and education

edit

Holdman was born in Aiken, South Carolina, and moved to nearby Lexington at the age of two. He attended Lexington High School. At the age of 17, during his Junior year of high school, Holdman felt a pull to go deeper in his relationship with Jesus Christ. He dedicated his life to Christ, and chose to attend Newberry College. Here, Holdman spent only one semester, when he accepted a call to ministry. He then transferred to Columbia International University, where he received a Bachelor of Science in business. Currently, Holdman is a student at Asbury Theological Seminary, working toward a Masters of Divinity.

Ministry

edit

After accepting a call to ministry, Holdman began serving at Mt. Horeb United Methodist Church as the Young Adult Coordinator. He was in this role for one year prior to moving on to a student ministry role within the church. Here, he successfully facilitated growth, seeing hundreds of middle school students come to know Jesus personally.

In 2020, Holdman made a move once again within Mt. Horeb to serve on the pastoral team. This gave him the opportunity to preach throughout the year in both traditional and contemporary worship venues.

Aside from Mt. Horeb, Holdman also serves on the writing team for Twelve-Thirty Media Company. His book, 30 Promises of God, was recently published through Twelve-Thirty Media, written alongside a fellow pastoral staff member at Mt. Horeb. He also serves on the Board of Directors for Grace Movement, a non-profit ministry focused fully online.

Holdman has plans to church plant in the near future, strategically in the northwestern United States.

Digivangelism

edit

Holdman seeks to utilize different social media platforms for ministerial purposes, strategically seeking to reach his own generation. Through this process, Holdman has begun doing what he calls Digivangelism. This term describes what he believes will soon take the place of what is known as Televangelism.

Currently, Holdman is working on plans for a non-profit ministry called Real Life Ministries. This will serve as a strategic digivangelism outlet for him to use as a means to reach his own generation, specifically through the use of social media.
