My name is Kory. Everyday I am amazed at how blessed I am to be here as the Lead Pastor of Lake Sarah Baptist Church. I’m married to Toni. She’s my best friend and we’re both excited to be here on the prairie in Southwest Minnesota.
I have three amazing sons (Rob, Ben, and Josh). Two live around the St. Louis Missouri and one lives in Marshall. Our oldest (Rob) is married to Zetty (whom Toni and I love dearly).
I have served in ministry in big churches (over 2000 in attendance) and little churches (started with 5- yes just my family). I’ve been privileged to serve in Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, and Massachusetts.
I was born in St. Louis, raised in central Florida, and then was a teen and young adult back in the St. Louis area before moving for seminary at Bethel in Arden Hills, MN.
I enjoy reading and art (an art major in college). But I also enjoy being active, camping, shooting, golfing, fishing and kayaking. Anything I can do with others, whether I’m learning something new or sharing something I’ve done a thousand times is a blast for me.
Most of all I love God. I enjoy Him so much that I decided through Jesus to make Him my full-time, all-of-life endeavor and adventure. And then on top of that, I’ve been honored to be called to serve vocationally as well.
My passion is to tell other people about the love of God and the amazing life available in Christ.
