Our Story
and
Our Pastor
Kenny and his wife, Heather, served faithfully at Temple Baptist Church in Fredericksburg, Virginia– where he taught young adults and directed the children’s ministry. Over time, God led Kenny into pastoral ministry. In early 2014, God confirmed in their hearts that it was His will for them to plant a church in the beautiful community of Culpeper!
Temple Baptist Church, their church home of over ten years, supported Kenny and Heather and the start of CityLight in every way– financially, in prayer, and with hands-on help. CityLight Baptist Church held its first official service on October 5, 2014! God truly blessed by providing a building and friends who have joined this endeavor from the very beginning.
Kenny completed his Master of Ministry degree through Virginia Baptist College. He assumed leadership of the Nicaraguan Baptist Bible Institute in Managua and assists national pastors in planting churches.
Pastor Kenny and his family have a huge heart for the community of Culpeper! They are actively involved in outreach and in training the next generation. God has given them a love for missions, too– as they minister to Hispanic people, both in Culpeper and in Spanish-speaking countries.
It's exciting to reflect on everything that God has done; and we look forward to what He will continue to do in and through CityLight Baptist Church! Come and be a part of the story
with us!
