Pastor Ken grew up in Mobile, Alabama, with two older sisters and a younger brother.
His family took an active role in the church, having been in the Assemblies of God for generations. (His father was a church deacon for 41 years!) While growing up in church, Ken developed his passion for music and worship.
In addition to playing the saxophone in the high school band, he also sang in three choirs.
It was at his home church where he met Marie, who would eventually become his wife.
Pastor Ken attended the University of South Alabama where he earned a B.S. degree in Music Education.
He continued his education at the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, earning a Master of Arts degree in Theology.
While at college, Ken participated in many musical productions.
He was the Assistant Student Conductor of the Symphonic Band at the U. of S. A. Pastor Ken is also a published composer and arranger.
He has written many of the songs that are sung at Bethany, as well as large musical scores for The Singing Christmas Tree and The Easter Passion Play.
Ken began his ministry at First Assembly of God in Alabaster, Alabama.
He also led the music ministry at his home church, Knollwood Assembly of God, and at Raleigh Assembly of God in Memphis, Tennessee.
His wife, Marie, grew up in the same church and town as Pastor Ken and continues to help in their ministry.
