Kevin joined the MeadowBrook staff as Worship Pastor in June of 2016.  Originally from Nashville, TN, he and his wife, Kristy, have been married for 20 years and have three children; Dalton, Noah, and Kenzie.

Kevin’s calling to lead the church in genuine worship shows in his ability to minister to people with a wide range of musical tastes and backgrounds.  His desire is to take our congregation beyond music, into the presence of our Holy God.  Of all the music of the church, Kevin’s favorites are hymns like “Worthy of Worship” and current praise songs like “Overcome” and “Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)”.

Outside of leading in worship, Kevin enjoys a good steak and sweet potato and is endlessly loyal to his hometown Tennessee Titans.

Kevin has previously ministered in churches in Tennessee and Georgia. Kevin would love to answer any questions you may have about our worship services or tell you more about how you can be involved in our worship ministry.  You can call him at our Church Office, email him, follow him on Twitter, or find him on Facebook.
