Brian and Bren Gibbs
Founder & Lead Pastors

Brian Gibbs is a lover of Jesus. His passion in life is his relationships with his Lord, his wife, Bren, and their two children. He is a pastor that encourages, strengthens, and lifts people to embrace the message of “Christ in you the Hope of Glory” and the present reality of the Kingdom of Heaven. Brian & Bren’s dream is to see Sarasota, Florida transformed by the Gospel and raise up spiritual sons and daughters to launch churches through the Sunshine State. For the last 13 years, God had used Brian & Bren as Pastors/Revivalists to build, equip and mobilize the Body of Christ and light revival fires throughout America, Canada, Italy and El Salvador.

Brian & Bren are ordained with NXL Network.  Next Level Leadership is a covenant network of ministers and churches throughout America that was founded by Pastor David Thomas [Youngstown, OH], Tommy Reid [Buffalo, NY] and the late David Cartledge [Australia].   This network is establishing a biblical and vibrant apostolic model for New Testament Church in the 21st century.

In January 1998, Brian and Bren Gibbs launched LIGHT THE FIRE MINISTRIES.  For the next seven years they traveled fulltime lighting the fires of revival and seeing hundreds of thousands of lives touched and torched with the fire of God. 

In 2004, the Lord divinely directed Brian and  Bren with their two children to move to Sarasota, FL to launch Victory @ Sarasota.  The church was birthed January 1st, 2005 and is flourishing with the Father’s blessing and favor.
