Associate Pastor, Minister of Youth & Education

A native of North Carolina, Kevin graduated from Wake Forest University in 2004 – and also married Brannon, his high school sweet-heart, later that same year. He lived in the Louisville, Kentucky area for the next five years, where he got a couple degrees from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and spent a few years as youth pastor of Salem Baptist Church in Brandenburg, Kentucky. Kevin moved to Orlando and began serving as SOBC’s Associate Pastor of Youth and Education in June 2009. He and Brannon have 2 children: Luke (2008) and Emilia (2010).

At SOBC, Kevin spends a significant portion of time with the student ministry.  He also works closely with Life University, Community Groups, Sunday School, Regency Christian Academy, and keeping the church’s technology as up to date as possible.  With his extensive academic background, Kevin is especially interested in philosophy, Christian apologetics, and Old Testament studies.

What do you like to do for fun?

Spend family time at some of the spots that are unique to Orlando that people who have lived here for too long take for granted! Brannon and I also like to watch reality television – Survivor, Biggest Loser, Food Network, Amazing Race, etc.

What are your favorite foods?

Anything Brannon Cooks. Pizza. Mac & Cheese. Fried Chicken.

What were your favorite childhood cartoons?

GI Joe, Thundercats, He-man

My ideal vacation would be…

Going somewhere I have never been before. I prefer having places to explore over sitting around and doing nothing.

Who are your significant spiritual influences?

John Piper. Francis Schaeffer. Albert Mohler. Francis Chan. And several of my former pastors and youth pastors.

What kind of music do you like?

I like rock music – from Switchfoot and Aerosmith to The Beatles and Queen. I am also a huge fan of 90’s Christian ska music.
