Pastoral Staff
Austin Branson
LEAD PASTOR
Originally from Chattanooga, Tennessee, Austin moved to Budapest, Hungary after college where he served as a missionary teacher, youth pastor, and worship director. While in Budapest, Austin met his wife Hannah who grew up in the Lake Geneva area. They married in 2013 and have since welcomed two sons and a daughter. He obtained a Master of Biblical Studies from Reformed Theological Seminary and is credentialed and ordained with The Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA). Prior to responding to the Lord’s call to serve as the Lead Pastor of Grace Church in 2019, Austin served as a middle school and young adult ministry director for a church in Illinois. His passion to preach Christ in all of Scripture and God’s grace for all of life is reflected in his expository approach to preaching. Austin enjoys gardening, being outdoors, playing guitar, wrestling with his sons, and spending time with family and others.
Aaron Zorn

Aaron has lived his entire life in and around Walworth County. He and his wife Nicole were married in 2009 and have seven children. He worked as a middle school math teacher and administrator until God called him into pastoral ministry in 2019. In 2022, Aaron received a Master of Divinity from Faith Bible Seminary. In addition to living a life of biblical hospitality, Aaron’s passions also involve biblical counseling, discipling, and teaching from God’s Word. Aaron oversees Grace’s Compassion Ministry as the Pastor of Care and continues to lead worship while preaching occasionally. Aaron enjoys the outdoors. Whether it is camping, hiking, fishing, hunting, or baseball, he prefers to be out in God’s beautiful world with his family.
