Kenny Champagne
Deacon Kenny is the Director for Family Ministries at Christ Lutheran and in the process of completing his internship requirement to become a pastor in the ELCA. Kenny has a bachelor’s degree from Florida State University and a Master of Arts in Diaconal Ministry from Wartburg Theological Seminary. He was born in Michigan, grew up in Florida, and most recently lived in Northern Virginia just outside of Washington DC. Deacon Kenny believes that our youth and young adults are not the future of the church, but they ARE the church today! The church is called to uphold the baptismal promises to journey with young people through their doubts, questions, highs, and lows as examples, mentors, and coaches. Kenny enjoys seeking out Holy experiences and inviting others to experience God in new and creative ways. In his spare time, Kenny enjoys exploring breweries and wineries with his wife, Kelly and their dogs, Zula and Penny, finding new projects around his home, and playing ice hockey.
