Fr. Brandon Cooper is a lifelong Episcopalian and was ordained to the priesthood in December, 2021. Prior to coming to Christ Church, he was a member of St. Andrew’s, Highland Park, having served in just about every role possible there.

Outside of the church world: Fr. Brandon has been a criminal justice professor teaching remotely at South University for nearly a decade. He loves the outdoors and welcomes the cooler Autumn temperatures which gives him more reasons to be outside. He is an avid guitar player and is often caught singing to himself! He is also a karate teacher at Baierl Family YMCA, and an occasional Civil War reenactor.

Brandon and his wife Jen live in McCandless with their two girls, Kristen and Charlotte and is grateful to God for the opportunity to serve at Christ Church. He also serves two other parishes in the diocese on a regular basis.
