Kevin is no stranger to NWCC as he has generously served as Pulpit Supply on three occasions over these past several months during our extensive search process.
Kevin is a life-long Presbyterian who has always been involved with the church, even as a child growing up in Pleasant Ridge. After high school, he studied speech and theater at Morehead State University and started his career working in technical theater. After marriage to his wife Mary and the start of a growing family with his son, Michael; Kevin began preparing for a change of careers as he attended Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, Virginia. Upon graduation, he accepted a call to a church in Kingsport, Tennessee and rejoiced in the birth of a second son, Jack. After three years, Kevin and his family returned to Cincinnati where he continued his active interest in theater as well as part time service as a pastor with Cranston Memorial in New Richmond, Ohio while also becoming father to their third son, William.
While Kevin has continued serving several churches throughout the Presbytery along with his interest in theater, his wife has also enjoyed her work as a talented free-lance wardrobe stylist for video commercials and still photography. All three boys share this interest in theater as they participate in music, drama, and voice. Their first son, Michael plays trombone, piano, and electric guitar while participating in a band with a CD to be released soon. Their second son, Jack, who plays bass clarinet and piano, is now a Sophomore studying theater at Hanover College. Their third son, William, plays piano and trombone while participating in 7th grade drama club. All three love to sing.
Although plans for a special installation ceremony will not be scheduled until after the first of the year, Kevin has already hit the ground running... settling into his new office... becoming acquainted with the congregation... working with our officers... visiting the homebound... and, I think, enjoying every minute of this exciting ministry! … I know we are.
