Kyle grew up in church and from an early age had interest in music ministry. He spent many years as a church musician playing several instruments. However in his late teenage years, he had an encounter with God and saw the power of the anointing through his music. He then made a commitment that he will only use his musical skills to serve God.
As he developed his musicianship he became more interested in learning how the word can further influence the music and lead God's people into worship. He undertook a 1 year study in ministry where the call of God was further impressed on his heart.
He takes pleasure in being an instrument for the lord both in word and music ministry. Kyle is an associate pastor and overseas the Worship Ministry, Ushers team, Sanctuary Care and Media teams.
