Kevin Metsinger was born in Lawrence, KS on May 12, 1959. He was born again in the summer of 1976. Upon graduation from high school he went to school to be a mechanic, it is a trade that has proven to be a great tool in the ministry. While working as a mechanic God burdened his heart that He wanted more for Kevin’s life. He then enrolled in Bible college in 1979.
He married his wife Lucinda (Cindi) in June of 1980. The Lord has blessed them with three sons. Jeremiah (wife Melissa, sons Noah, Haddon, Silas, Hudson and daughter Paisley) is serving as pastor at South Knollwood Baptist Church in Topeka, KS. Benjamin (wife Kelsey, daughters Reagan, Avolea & Benelli) heads up the RU program at his father-in-law’s church in Marshalltown, Iowa. Nathan (son Cody and daughter Madeline). The seven grandchildren are one of the greatest blessings that God has given them.
He was called to preach after attending Bible College and working in Christian school and youth ministries. It was while God was calling several of the young men from his youth group to preach that God also called him.
Kevin accepted the call as pastor of Shawnee Mission Baptist Temple on June 10, 1990. He has served on the Board of Directors at Heartland Baptist Bible College for 12 years. He has also served for 16 years as the chairman of the Mid-America Baptist Youth Camp, and several other committees and offices.
Kevin joined the leadership team of the Kansas Men’s Retreat now known as the Recharge in 2004 with Bro. Britton and Bro. Sellers. Since then, leaders have changed but the desire is still the same. We strive to give men “in-your-face/life changing” PREACHING.
