Bryant Golden, Lead Pastor

Bryant is a unique and dynamic communicator with a passion to inspire people to find freedom and live with hope. He is known for his raw honesty that tears down barriers for people from diverse backgrounds.

Bryant grew up in the Tampa Bay area, where his father, Dale Golden, was a pastor for thirty years. At an early age, Bryant developed a passion for the local church through the example of his dad. During his undergraduate years, God began to birth in Bryant a vision to create a church that was an alternative to church as usual. This area didn’t need another church—but it did need a different kind of church. That vision became a tangible reality in 2010, when Bryant Golden became the Lead Pastor of Centerpoint. Since then, Centerpoint has grown to thousands of people in the Tampa Bay area, as well as across the United States through the Centerpoint Digital Campus.

Bryant is also the founder and host of Unfiltered Radio, a radio show in markets of over 2.5 million, and is reaching people worldwide through podcast.

Bryant started his career in business, then studied theology at Carolina University and attended seminary at Dallas Theological Seminary. He loves the small things, like swims with his kids, good books on the porch, weekend getaways with his wife, Buccaneers football, and pretty much any American sport. He and his wife, Nicole, have four children: Brooke, Ryder, Braxton, and Case.
