Kevin Warner
Kevin Warner grew up in Glen Ellyn, IL and came to Christ at an early age. “God gave me a love for the Word early on in my life. But it wasn’t until junior high that I began to put all the pieces together and put my trust in Christ alone for salvation.” He was very involved in his church and youth ministry in high school: playing music, leading Bible studies, and even preaching. Late in high school he received a call to full time ministry and went to Valparaiso University to study Theology and Greek.
In college, Kevin met Adrianne at an Evangelical Free Church. Together they lead the junior high ministry at their church. After college, Kevin and Adrianne got married and moved to Colorado where Adrianne became a nurse and Kevin studied at Denver Seminary.
After seminary, Kevin spent six years in Columbia, MO at Compass Evangelical Free Church doing ministry with students, families, parents, men, and preaching.
In May 2015, Kevin became the Adult Ministries Pastor at Lighthouse Community Church. His main responsibilities were to oversee Life Groups, assimilation, men’s and women’s ministry, discipleship classes, and missions. Then, in June 2016, he also became the Interim Lead Pastor.
Kevin has a heart for missions, discipleship, and the preaching of the Word. He enjoys reading, spending time with his family, gardening, ultimate frisbee, playing music, and the Chicago Bears. Kevin and Adrianne have been married for twelve years and have three children: Mitchell, Phoebe, and James.
“My heart is for Lighthouse. I am so excited to see how God will display his faithfulness and mission through our church.” – Kevin
