Brandon Boswell
Worship Leader

Brandon and Andrea Boswell were married soon after graduating together from Auburn University Harrison School of Pharmacy in 2002. The two moved back to Andrea’s hometown and joined Rainsville First Baptist in 2004. They have two wonderful children, Lily and Carter, along with a fantastic son-in-law, Druw Smith. Brandon has been a member of the praise team at RFBC for twenty years now and has served as worship leader on two separate occasions…currently since 2022. Brandon has a heart for leading others as a unified body of believers in the honoring and glorifying of the One True King, Jesus Christ. He is truly humbled to be in a position to utilize the talents and gifts with which God has blessed him in order to fulfill his calling.
Chase Johnson
Intermin Youth Pastor

Chase and Amanda have been married for 18 years and have three sons: Israel, Elisha, and Shepherd. Their family reflects their commitment to faith, perseverance, and leading by example. Their desire is for both their home and their ministry to be built on the same foundation: Christ first and Christ alone.
Although Chase works full-time outside the church, his commitment to serving others extends well beyond the workday. For many years, he has passionately served in community as a coach, a business leader, and for 14 years as a music minister.
As interim youth pastor, his goal is more than simply filling a position. He hopes to build meaningful relationships, create opportunities for spiritual growth, and help young people discover that God has a purpose for their lives. He believes young people need someone who will listen to them, encourage them, challenge them, and, above all, point them toward Jesus.
