Pastor Charles McKinzie

---

So I guess I'm supposed to introduce myself here and tell you a bit about me.  Here's the "highlights". 

If you'd like to know more, give me a shout and lets grab a coffee. ✌

• Wife Carrie is love of my life. Married for 17 years
• Three amazing kiddos - Cambria (12) Catriona (10) and Charlie (8)
• Love Jesus because he loves me
• Passion for my Mini Cooper S (her name is Gidget)
• Passion for family history 
• Play bagpipes with Flint Hills Highlanders of Wichita
• Prefer my puns intended
• Nerdy - Fandoms are LOTR, Dr. Who, Firefly, Outlander, Harry Potter
• Love Renn Faires and Cosplay
• Went to school to be an Opera Singer
• First heard a call to ministry at age 7, but spent 30 years running from it. 
• Nerd out on Church history and theology  
• Known to sign off emails/blogs with AMDG or the Latin - Ad maiorem Dei gloriam,  which in English is "to the greater glory of God" 

I wear an Alb (robe) most Sunday's to preach. It reminds me that I am wrapping myself in God's words to bring to the congregation. Don't let my formality scare you though. I'm equally as likely to make a Marvel Comic reference in my sermon as I am to talk about the history of "high church." Special Sundays you may even catch me in my Kilt with pipes in hand. :)

I don't claim to have all the answers. I do know that if you are searching and would like to walk along side someone - I'm happy to walk that path with you. I hope you'll reach out and connect with me and we can do this journey of faith and exploration together.
