Pastor Kevin joined Stepney as Senior Pastor in January, 2007.

After fifteen years in the business world, Kevin sensed the Lord calling him to full-time Christian ministry. Prior to coming here, he and his wife Liz spent three years studying at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in Massachusetts (www.gordonconwell.edu/). Kevin graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Master of Divinity in May, 2007. He teaches in a very down-to-earth manner and is passionate about encouraging each one in their walk with the Lord. His heart's desire is that each member of the church would understand how much God loves them. He also feels burdened to see each person discover their unique calling in Christ.

Liz graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Master of Arts in Religion in May 2007. Liz is passionate about teaching women to grow and develop spiritually with a strong foundation in God's Word.

They have three children, Kevin, 15, John, 13 and Emily, 10.
