| 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.
