Leadership

Pastors & Staff

Jonathan Brooks

Lead Pastor/Elder

Jonathan and his wife, Stephani, moved to Bryan in the fall of 2013 to plant RCB. The vision had been birthed in North Houston to build a diverse church devoted to relational discipleship in the heart of Downtown Bryan. Jonathan's primary roles at RCB are preaching, leadership development and discipleship, outreach and keeping the vision in front of the church.

Jonathan has been married to his high school sweetheart, Stephani, for 17 years, and they have four incredible boys and a beautiful little girl. He loves all things sports, but especially basketball. Jonathan and Stephani both love to be active, and if they're not wrangling kiddos they're working out or working up their appetite for the next meal (lots of food consumed in a household of 5 dudes!). The Brooks have a passion for families and for helping others grow in their love for and walk with Jesus.

Matt Prine

Executive Pastor of Ministry

Matt and Cammy Prine moved to Bryan/College Station in April of 2018 and immediately began attending Restoration Church Bryan, joining the church shortly thereafter. Matt has served in pastoral roles in two churches before coming to Restoration, and loves the local church. Matt became an elder at Restoration in 2019 and then came on staff part time in 2021. In 2023, Matt became the full time Executive Pastor of Ministry. His primary roles are overseeing ministry teams and staff as well as overseeing the church planting initiatives. 

Matt and Cammy have been married since 2009 and have five children (4 boys and a girl). They are living on acreage where as a family they are building their family home, raising chickens for eggs and meat, and gardening to provide much of their family’s produce. They are passionate about discipleship and mentorship and love to teach others about the gospel through how they steward the land and animals that God has entrusted them with. 

Matt Ullrich

Executive Minister, Operations and Missions

Matt moved to Bryan/ College Station in the fall of 2013 to start his freshman year at Texas A&M University. Searching for a church that would push him to grow in his faith, he found Restoration and began meeting in the home of Jonathan and Stephani Brooks in late September of that year. Having the opportunity to not only be surrounded by men and women of all ages but also discipled by older men from the beginning of his college career helped Matt establish a firm foundation in Christ.

Upon graduation in December of 2016, Matt came on full time at Restoration, and then in September 2017, Matt married the love of his life, Hannah! As he continues to thrive in discipleship and missional roles at RCB, Matt's hope is to see men and women raised up as strong disciple makers– some of who may respond to the call to make disciples of the unreached around the world! 

Tori Allison

RCB Kids Minister - Wednesday environment (Refuge) 

Tori officially came on board as RCB Children's Coordinator in August 2017 and is thrilled to get to serve the kids and families at Restoration Church Bryan.  She grew up in Mission, Texas as one of three girls in a family of five and graduated Texas A&M in 2013.

Upon graduating, Tori taught at Arrow Academy in Bryan for three and a half years. She has always loved working with and mentoring kids from the B/CS community in her spare time. In October 2017, Tori tied the knot with Kaleb Allison (one of RCB's deacons!). In July 2020, they welcomed baby girl, Selah! 

Haley Osborn

RCB Kids Minister - Sunday environment

Haley wants every kid who walks in on Sunday morning to have heard the Gospel, know that they are prayed for, and to see how to study God’s Word. Her hope is that each child will be a lifelong follower of Christ that looks different than the rest of the world. She is passionate about coming alongside parents as they disciple their kids to know and serve Christ all of their days.

She graduated from Texas A&M in 2013 and married her high school sweetheart, Zack in January 2014. They have two kids, Rollie and Davy Jane and a whole lot of chickens.  

Ben Chubb

College Mens Minister

Ben started attending RCB in 2016 as a sophomore at Texas A&M. He was blessed by the men who invested in him during this pivotal time in his early faith, and is passionate about seeing college men continue to be built up and sent out by the community at this church.
He married his beautiful wife Kirsten after they both graduated in 2019. They spent the last three years serving at a summer camp, and loved their time doing ministry alongside one another. Ben joined the RCB staff in September of 2022 and they are grateful to get to continue to serve college students together. 

Nick Wood

Youth Minister

Nick moved to College Station in the Fall of 2015 and, desiring gospel-centered community, began attending Restoration in the Fall of 2017. Through serving in various ministries, the Lord began to develop within Nick a desire to see the next generation of disciple-makers raised up within the Bryan/College Station area. After working in town for a couple of years post-grad, Nick transitioned onto RCB staff in May 2022.

Lily Mae Casey

Office and Communications Manager

As a student at Texas A&M, Lily desired to be a part of a church that was driven by the Gospel to strengthen its members through Christ-centered discipleship and community. This led her to Restoration where she began attending and joined in 2018. After graduating in May of 2021, Lily joined the staff where she is excited to continue serving alongside the church body to reach those in Bryan, College Station, and beyond.

On August 5th of 2022, Lily Mae married Grayson Casey the love of her life and greatest gift to her next to her salvation in Christ. She met Grayson while serving on Restorations' worship team! 

Jacob Palat

Facilities & Logistics Coordinator

Jacob serves the church by helping with the logistics of events, leading our Road Crew serve team, and helping keep our facilities operating smoothly. Jacob had not yet moved to the Bryan-College Station area to start college in the Fall of 2016 when several brothers in Christ from back home were already beckoning and urging him to come check out Restoration. Becoming a covenant member that same year, he has served faithfully with the church in various capacities since then! Jacob loves dogs and food, but will talk your ear off regardless of the topic.

Brandon Sweeney

Church Planting Resident - Planting Salt City Church in Spring 2024

Brandon is a devoted husband to Ashantae and father of their 3 amazing kids Judah, Bethany, and Aubrey. Brandon moved his family to College Station with a vision to plant and pastor a Gospel centered church. This vision started in 2019, while serving as Associate Pastor and Youth Pastor for a church in Northeast Houston. In 2020 right before the pandemic, Brandon and his wife started driving once a month to Bryan College Station to pray over the city and to scout out the land. In December of 2022, God opened a door for Brandon and his family to relocate to College Station. Brandon joined Restoration Church-Bryan church planting residency with the goal of planting Salt City Church in Spring of 2024. Brandon loves spending time with his family, watching college football, and reading great books. Brandon is also passionate about preaching God’s Word, shepherding people, and raising up a generation of leaders to be salt and light in their every-day lives.

Wes Anderson

Ministry Logistics and Creative Coordinator

Wes is a man of many interests, and loves to learn. He will gladly talk for hours about anything from specialty coffee to affordable housing; from a theology of creativity to his comprehensive movie rating system. After graduating from Texas A&M in 2022, Wes married his wonderful wife (and Latina firecracker) Alexandra!

He is a storyteller to his core and cares deeply about the stories we believe and the stories we tell. Wes longs to see the church tell the prophetic story of the Kingdom of God in Revelation 7:9, where we see worshippers transformed in Christlikeness and unified to one another. To this end, he desires to leverage his life to see deeply formed disciples of Jesus and multicultural unity in the church.
