Meet The Pastor
Senior Pastor Kevin Diamond
Pastor Kevin has a diverse Christian upbringing, with his parents' Catholic and Baptist backgrounds leading him to grow up in a Brethren Church. Early exposure to ministry through Young Life during high school ignited his passion for making the Gospel exciting. He met his wife, Angie, in high school, and they married after college. They both served in youth ministry roles while attending The Ohio State University.
A pivotal moment came when a pastor at Vineyard Columbus challenged Kevin to embrace his calling to ministry. Kevin and Angie served at Faith Covenant Church for nine years, during which their two sons were born, and Kevin pursued theological education at North Park Theological Seminary. Upon completing his Masters of Divinity, he received lifelong ordination from the Evangelical Covenant Church in Word & Sacrament. They then moved to California, revitalizing an existing 146-year-old church and establishing Celebrate Recovery.
After a visit to Melbourne Beach, they felt compelled to start a new church with a family-friendly, scripture-focused approach. After assessment and training, they were confirmed in their calling and relocated to follow it. Community involvement is crucial to them, and they eagerly serve and lead their new church on the Space Coast.
