Pastor Phyllis Brantum

Born in Jacksonville and a Tallahassee resident since 1974, Pastor Phyllis is a widowed mother of three whose life has been shaped by faith, resilience, and a deep love for people.

In 2007, God called her to begin serving the Holton Street community at 1719 Holton Street—known locally as “The Barrel” or Swaco Villa. She responded by showing up, listening, praying, and meeting practical needs.
