Grace & Peace in the name of Christ Jesus,

It is my pleasure to serve LMCC as their Interim Pastor of Preaching.  Together for the Gospel of Christ, we seek to know Jesus and to make Him known.  I desire to equip Christians to have a deep and vibrant faith, so that they can glorify God and be used by Him.  It is my goal each Lord’s Day to faithfully proclaim God’s truth from the Scriptures, which are the inspired, inerrant, and infallible Word of God.  I pray that the Spirit of God would transform us by His Word as we seek to be faithful followers of Christ Jesus.  To God alone be all glory!

In His Service, Kevin

"All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, [so] that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work”

(2Timothy 3:16-17 ESV)

“God is most glorified in us, when we are most satisfied in Him” (John Piper).

 Mark Livesay, Youth Pastor

 

Having grown up in the LMCC youth group, Mark is excited to be back where he grew as a Christian during those formative high school years. While Mark was earning his degree in civil engineering from the University of Florida, he volunteered and served as the Youth Ministry Intern at the EFCA church in Gainesville. Mark is currently working full time as a civil engineer and also fulfilling his desire for the spiritual maturation of today's youth as our youth pastor.

Ken Garnsey, Associate Pastor

 

Ken is a 1966 graduate of The King’s College who taught high school social studies for 35 years before God called him to pastor a rural Pennsylvania church. After a heart attack he located in Lakeland where his musical wife, Sandy, and he found LMCC. Within months this retired couple was involved in the church ministry and “unretired” and Ken was soon licensed as our associate pastor. The Garnseys have three grown children and 6 grandchildren. Ken’s dad is now in heaven after pastoring until he was 90. “Sandy and I receive many spiritual blessings as we serve our Savior. As the gospel song says, ‘There is great joy in serving Jesus’. We are so pleased that God led us to Lake Morton Community Church where we have been ‘adopted’ by the church family.”
