ministering to the flock

The following ministers help to lead each member of the Friendship congregation into a closer relationship with God and greater commitment to his will through example, teaching, and counseling. Our ministers are always available to each member of the congregation as well as our neighbors in the community.

They have been blessed with five children whom they are raising to work and minister in the kingdom of God. Kevin felt a strong desire to give his life to Christ at a very young age and knew he wanted to commit his life to Christ and learn from Him. Kevin earned his Bachelor's degree in Bible and Ministry from Harding University. He has worked in ministry for over 20 years in Florida, Mississippi, and Tennessee. In addition to ministry and preaching, Kevin also works as a full-time nurse where he serves and ministers to patients in dialysis.

Shepherding our flock

Friendship is blessed by the godly leadership of our shepherds (also known as Elders in many congregations). These men have been chosen by the congregation to be the shepherds of the flock because of their spiritual examples and godly wisdom. They are dedicated to the feeding, leading and care of the people under their spiritual oversight. We appreciate the long hours of service they give to the nurturing of the flock.
