Father Ken's Message***
Father Ken has been a lifelong member of the
Episcopal Church, mostly in small, family size
churches like the size of St. John's. He grew up
in Southern California serving as an acolyte and
leader in his Youth Group, earning the Eagle
Scout rank and the God and Country Award in the
Boy Scouts of America. He moved to Maryland
where he again served as an acolyte, was
cofirmed by the Bishop of Maryland who, ten
years later, ordained him as a Deacon and
Priest. He attended college in New Hampshire and
entered Virginia Theological Seminary
immediately after graduation. His first church
leadership was serving five years as an
Assistant Priest in two urban churches in
Baltimore and Greensboro NC. His first
rectorship was outside Richmond VA building a
new church from scratch to full self support in
eight years. He then served 12 years as Rector
of a corporate size congregation with a full
staff of six in Stratford CT. He
moved to Grand Rapids, MI in 1988 where he married his
wife, Connie, and helped raise his
stepson. In Michigan he served
four different small family size churches as
Priest-in-Charge over 27 years. Connie is a retired Human Resources
Director, and they live in
Hudson, FL. |
