Brian Beckman

Director

Shelby will always be Brian’s home. He is so grateful for a community that encouraged him in his youth, and now as director of The Ladder, he is blessed every day with positive interactions with the great people of Shelby.
Brian recognizes the horrible death Jesus Christ suffered on the cross for his sins. That realization brings him to desire two things. First, to Celebrate—Raise the Roof for our Lord and Savior through singing. Secondly, to tell everyone about Jesus for the rest of his days on this Earth. He strives to make Jesus famous in Shelby. Eternity in Heaven is at stake!
