Our Leadership

Greg & Kate Mckinney,
lead pastors

Greg and Kate McKinney are the lead pastors of Glory Church. After serving in full-time student ministry for 6+ years, they felt called by God to start a life-giving and diverse church in KC, MO. Now five years in, Pastor’s Greg and Kate faithfully lead and shepherd this house under the guidance and direction of our Glory Advisory board.

While Greg handles much of the visible sides of leadership: teaching, preaching, and counseling, Pastor Kate faithfully shepherds our staff, key leaders, and helps ensure the consistent communication of both the direction and vision of Glory Church.
