HOW TO RECEIVE NEW LIFE FROM GOD... Start here.

 

 

 

[ASSISTANT PASTOR]

Kevin Turpin is a man with many passions and great ambition. This husband, father, teacher, counselor, writer, young men’s mentor, and worshiper accepted the position of senior associate pastor in February 1998 when responding to God’s call to continue pastoral ministry, originally serving on the New Life at Greenbrier staff, then making the transition to New Life Providence Church with Pastor Dan.

In 2005, Pastor Kevin made the transition from serving New Life Providence full-time to pursuing his passion for reaching out to the community with a meaningful impact in Jesus' name. His full-time office is at the Life Enrichment Center (LEC) in downtown Norfolk, an outreach ministry of New Life Providence, where he serves as executive director.

Pastor Kevin continues part-time on the Providence staff. His current duties include sharing Sunday celebration service responsibilities, leading worship for Wednesday early morning prayer and other events, and conducting pastoral counseling sessions.

While pursuing a Master of Arts in Practical Theology, Pastor Kevin worked for Regent University as the director of development, director of recruitment/ alumni relations, and student services counselor. His pastoral experience includes serving as a minister at a Pentecostal church in Buffalo, New York from 1986 to 1992, and as minister of music for Christ Covenant Church in 1996.

Married for over 28 years, Kevin and his wife, Wanda, have a son who is married, and a daughter attending college. Pastor Kevin enjoys playing basketball, racquetball, and tennis.
