Biographies

Senior Pastor - Kevan Crane Since their marriage in 1983 Kevan & Carole have been involved in Church leadership and different Social Action Projects. They have two children: Emily (22) & Joseph (20). Emily lives and works in New York with the Gathering Church and Joseph who is living & working in Bury St Edmunds. Joseph worships at the New Frontiers Church in Bury. Carole is a teacher and is currently deputy-head at Dersingham Infant School. As Kevan becomes the senior pastor at KLBC his hope is to see the church develop into a Purpose Driven Church that places top value on: Worship, Community, Family, Spiritual Growth and Serving. He believes that KLBC has a key role to play in the community development of South Lynn, an area that is undergoing much regeneration. Kevan would like to see the church become a ‘Community Hub’ serving the needs of the people within the locality.
Assistant Leader - Kieran Woodward Kieran graduated from Moorlands Theological College in Sopley Dorset in 2006 with a degree in applied theology and is the Assistant Leader of King’s Lynn Baptist Church. Recently Married to Rowena, Kieran brings a wealth of ideas and excitement to the church, and a willingness to help the church move forward into the purposes of God. Kieran is looking forward to starting to work with the 18-30’s age range in the church, and to encourage this often forgotten group of people to be more involved in church. Kieran is also responsible for the church website! (Which means this is all my fault!)
