Pastor Kevin was born and raised in Columbia, KY. He has two passions: to see the people of rural Kentucky living their created purpose, and to partner with Jesus as He saves, heals, delivers, and redeems all that is not as it was created to be.
Kevin and Liz met in 2006 in a feed mill in Columbia, KY and married in 2011 in Bowling Green, KY. They have five children; Nora Elizabeth, Phillip Richard, Suzanna Kate, Silas Jackson, and Latham Talmadge. They held ministry assignments in Bowling Green, KY, Elkton, KY, and Hodgenville, KY before moving to Monticello, KY in 2019.
Pastor Kevin is a product of the local church, was saved from an early age, recognized God’s call to ministry and was sanctified wholly at the age of fourteen when he answered that call. He obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Christian Ministry from Lindsey Wilson College. He was ordained an Elder in the Church of the Nazarene in 2019.
Kevin currently serves as the Lead Pastor of Monticello Church of the Nazarene. He views pastoral ministry as the highest possible ministry calling in this season of his life. He receives great joy and fulfillment from the opportunity pastoral ministry provides to invest in others and see them recognize their own God-given potential.
