Rev. Kevin McGlamery

Rev. Kevin McGlamery says, "as a pastor, I am deeply passionate about equipping aspiring pastors with the tools and wisdom they need to thrive in their ministry journey. Having experienced the transformative power of embracing God's call, I understand the challenges and blessings that come with pastoral leadership. Throughout this course, I aim to share not only practical insights but also the heartfelt lessons I've learned along the way—from the importance of maintaining a strong personal walk with God to the nuances of multicultural ministry and effective leadership development.

My desire is to empower pastors to lead with authenticity, compassion, and vision, drawing from both biblical principles and real-world experiences. By providing guidance on topics such as preaching effectiveness, pastoral care, and navigating the complexities of ministry, I hope to inspire a new generation of pastors to embrace their calling with confidence and conviction. Together with Dr. Michael Reynolds, I am committed to guiding learners on a transformative journey toward becoming impactful and compassionate leaders in their communities, rooted in the service of God's calling."
