Some of the earliest memories that I have take me back to the second grade; everyone was putting a star on the board of what they wanted to be when they grew up. On my star I wrote a preacher. From that moment life began to throw many passions my way from sports to outdoors to eventually firefighting. And all my plans began to push for Fire College and eventually a fire scientist, but in all the planning, I seemed to forget to ask God what He desired and what His plans were. I began to ask God why all my plans were falling through, and the answer I got took me back to the 2nd grade.

 

I graduated Troy University with an Associate of Science Degree and then went to Leavell College of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary to receive a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Ministry Degree. For the last 15 years I have been serving Jesus in the local church. In what started small as a volunteer, God has enlarged my territory and brought me to one of the greatest churches, and continues to allow me to be Senior Pastor for some of the greatest people I have ever known.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I walked into Boones Chapel for the first time around 2007 and it has become

home to me. I’ve been through the Youth Group and ALL that entails with trips, camps, lock-ins, DNow and the pranks that were included! I’ve seen our church go through tragedy due to a tornado in 2011, and I couldn’t be prouder of the way we responded. I’ve seen this small country church grow from 100 people on a Sunday morning to 700! I’ve had the privilege of serving this church as a Deacon, Sunday School Director, Men’s Minister, and Student Pastor. One of my favorite verses is 1 Corinthians 6:20, “…for you were bought at a price.” My goal in everything I do is to honor that price paid for me! But added to that, I have a desire to get others to do the same. The Gospel has changed me, and I will share that truth until God calls me home. If you have any questions or interest in Men’s or Student Ministry, contact me at Keston@booneschapel.org.

I serve as the Ministry Assistant at Boones Chapel, where I support the day-to-day ministries of the church and help people feel connected!

I’ve been involved in ministry for several years and I’m passionate about serving others. I’m a lifelong local & graduated from Marbury High School and then attended Jefferson State Community College. I’m married to my high school sweetheart, Garrett.
