PK (short for Pastor Kevin)

Call me: PK or Pastor Kevin (I’m an informal guy).

Family:
I’ve been married to the best woman on the planet for 34 years; her name is Betty.  I have 3 sons; JT (who works & lives in GR Area and is married to Leah), Josh (who works & lives in the GR area and is married to Tori), and Jordan (who is at WMU studying for a Master’s Degree), and 1 daughter, Staci (who is married to Scott and lives in Jenison).  This all means…I’m blessed!

Brief History:
I grew up in West Michigan, went to both college & Seminary here (Western Theo. In Holland), and lived for all but 4 years of my life.  I planned on owning my own sales brokerage (and started a career as a sales rep.), but God had different ideas for me.  I listened to him; I was a youth pastor for over 10 years, and have served as a lead pastor for over the last 20.  (Wow; I’m getting old!)

I enjoy:
Lots of stuff. Any time I get with my family.  Love to bow hunt (deer), fish, and see what God can do with my feeble gardening efforts.  I’m a big U of M fan (Go Blue), but I do tolerate Spartys.  Sports of any kind (almost any kind).

I am Passionate about:
God’s plans, and being counted worthy to be a part of them!  How cool is it that God loves us for who we are, and wants us to be with Him forever?  That blows my mind!  Being counted worthy of helping people discover their great worth to God and His plans for them to live a life of real meaning & purpose through His grace & love is amazing, and it’s what I’ve given my life to.

Life Verses: Ephesians 4:1, 2:8-10, Philippians 4:13, and Malachi 3:10 (to name a few).
