Kevin was our youth pastor throughout our middle school and high school years. We appreciate him and the time he spent pouring into us as wild and rowdy teenagers, and more recently the time he has spent counseling us as we step into married life. We are so, so happy to have Kevin be such a huge part of the wedding ceremony!
