Rev. Banks Brazell
Senior Minister

Banks received his call to ministry later in life, after a first career in commercial construction and a second career as a freefall and tandem skydiving instructor.

As a construction executive, Banks was responsible for estimates, negotiations and buy-out, scheduling, and construction management of projects ranging from malls to hospitals, and in size from $7 million to $50 million. Much of his project management experience was on-site. Banks was also a construction headhunter for two years, specializing in commercial contractors and developers in Florida.

In his skydiving career, he built FreeFall Ranch in Warm Springs into a national class skydiving center and drop zone. He has over 1,700 skydives, many of them as a freefall or tandem instructor. From 1991-1992, he served on the Board of Directors of the United Stated Parachute Association representing the Southeast Region.

As a minister, Banks is a dynamic preacher, and had served small country churches as a student pastor, a 6000 member suburban church as senior associate pastor, and a 500 member county-seat First Church before founding AllPoints. Banks has extensive missions experience both locally and internationally, has organized neighborhood cell groups, men’s small groups, market-place evangelism and Bible studies. Banks is frequently sought out for his ability to give spiritual direction and mentoring, pastoral counseling, and his healing ministry.

Banks’ passion is helping individuals and churches discover and use their God-given graces and gifts to expand the Kingdom, and to that end AllPoints Church has a focus on spiritual gifts and healing as part of its outreach.

He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Building Science from Auburn University, and a Master of Divinity degree cum laude from Candler School of Theology, Emory University.

Banks is married to the former Kendra Kasha of North Platte, Nebraska. They have four sons, Kenneth, Eric, Michael, and Daniel. They live along with Misty the Wonder Dog in the rapidly dwindling rural area of Hickory Flat just outside Canton, Georgia.
