After a two-year stint on Young Life Staff, he came to NPC and served for seven years as the full time Youth Pastor.
In 1997 he left our staff and went to seminary at Gordon-Conwell. Several years, one degree and three children later, he returned to NPC, excited about serving God in a new way.
Kevin lives in Hudson with his wonderfully supportive wife, Debbie and their three adorable daughters — Mary, Elizabeth, and Erin. He has a heart to see churches thrive and become spiritually healthy, and serves as a part-time ministry associate for Return Ministries, which seeks to bring peace to conflicted churches. Kevin is an avid golfer who also loves to cook and play in his garden.
