Meet Our Leadership

Ken was called to Pastor Silver Hills upon the retirement of Ben Fleming. He now serves as the primary teaching elder. Ken has a Masters in Divinity degree from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and a Bachelors in Christian Leadership from William Jessup University. He has been in the ministry for over 20 years in various parts of California, Texas, Guam & Kentucky. Many of these moves were due to the fact that Ken is a retired Master Sergeant with the U.S. Air Force Reserves. He and his wife, Angela have been married for over 20 years, and have 4 children Bella, Mikayla & Titus (Gabriel was an early miscarriage & is in heaven). Ken has been serving at Silver Hills Church since July, 2022.
