The 51-year-old pastor and his wife Nicole had started City Church in 1998 in the living room of their home.

As the ministry grew, the Bradleys moved their church into a building and continued to expand the congregation.

Those who knew Bradley shared messages on social media, explaining that his death is difficult to comprehend.
