Beyond his obvious preaching and leadership roles at North itself, Kevin is a vital resource and teacher for ministries connecting North with the larger metropolitan community. Many of his links to that community arise from his work as a senior public teacher with the Religion and Urban Culture Project at The Polis Center at IUPUI. His role in that position is “helping religious, civic, and human-service leaders understand the many ways religion and public life intersect.”

Kevin recently was appointed senior pastor at North by Bishop Woody White, now retired. Kevin was associate pastor at North for two years before accepting the challenge of a pastorate, which continued for nine years, at Roberts Park United Methodist Church in downtown Indianapolis.

Kevin, originally from Washington, Ind., was a minister in the South Indiana Conference beginning in June 1985. He is a graduate of DePauw and Duke universities. His ministry began with his work as a chaplain at DePauw.

His mission at North, he says, is “equipping and connecting North members and staff with community resources that strengthen our shared life.”

Kevin and his wife, Nancy, and daughter Jenna enjoy gardening, reading, and traveling. Among his adventures, Kevin counts parachuting from an airplane, traveling four hours in the ocean in a dugout canoe, and running in the recent Indianapolis 500 Mini-Marathon.
