He and Anna, "the most beautiful and supportive wife in the world", have been married since June 2000. He says, "Without her support and encouragement, I couldn't be the man I am today. 1 Corinthians 7:14 says, 'For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife.' That was definitely the case in my life, without her relationship to Jesus, who knows what or where we would be today." Keith and Anna have 3 children, Christian Alexander, Trenton Isaiah and Ella Grace. Keith said, "I can't wait to see what God allows them to do for His ministry!" Keith says that he doesn't deserve his family, but he cherishes and adores each one of them. His favorite time with them is during their nightly routine. They go to the boys room, learn a verse, sing Amazing Grace and pray together. "A Family That Prays Together, Stays Together!"

FAITH
Keith loves the Lord and desires a closer relationship with Him, he sometimes gets his priorities out of whack and spends more time 'for' Him, than 'with' Him. He longs for the passion that would consume him until he is physically sick when he doesn't spend enough time with God. "Just a Closer Walk with Thee!"
Keith grew up in a Christian home, but says that things were "a little out of balance." He says that he truly admires Christian women that are doing everything they can to raise a Christian family because the fathers aren't taking the responsibility that God placed in their hands. Keith says that his mother did the best she could to try to get him, his brother ans sister to church. He says that he could never thank her enough for the Christian morals that she and his Nanny instilled in him. As a note to guys all over the world, Keith wants you to know that God never intended for women to have that job; the man is the Spiritual Leader of the household. To the ladies that have been left with that job, he wants you to know, "if your man won't step up, you just keep doing what you know to do and God will bless you and your family."
Keith thought he had been saved at age 12, but his life in high school and college did not reflect Christianity. He says that the only conviction he had was that he didn't want his mother to find out what he was into! He accepted Christ as his Savior at age 25 at Center Star Baptist Church while doing the Christian Drama, "The Dream". He was teaching Sunday School, dancing with our Expressive Dance team, Broken, acting in "The Dream", singing in the choir and working in the nursery... he was doing a lot of church things, but soon realized that Jesus was missing from the equation. If you're finding yourself in a similar situation, please contact our church office; we would love to help you find your way to the Lord Jesus Christ, because NOTHING can save you but Jesus!

MINISTRY
Keith's passion in ministry is to be able to crack open the door to the Throneroom and allow others to go in! He loves to get lost in the worship and not realize that anyone is there but him and Jesus! He longs for everyone to feel the freedom that God has given all of us and to be able to express the way we feel for God. He has a longing to help break the chains of oppression and find the true worshippers that God desires. (John 4:23)
Keith is very much in tune with the Spirit in knowing when to keep singing or to just 'shut up' as he puts it! He does a great job at presenting the worship music so that it softens the hearts of our youth so that they are more receptive to the message that God has for them through Phillip or other speakers on Wednesday nights.
Keith says that he loves the FREEDOM at BBC, we aren't held together by a bulletin that determines what songs the congregation will sing. God's Holy Spirit is allowed to work and is not confined to what we are limited to perceive. He says, "Our staff is awesome and supportive. Lon is the best because he realizes that sometimes he doesn't even have to preach and we would worship the whole service! He has been encouraging to me and allowed me to grow as a worship leader. Brother Jimmy has been my Paul in the ministry. It all started when he taught the first guitar class, until then, I was limited in playing only a few secular songs and maybe a couple worship songs. Six months after starting the class, I was leading the Youth Worship! Who would have ever believed that 3 years later, they keep me around as the Youth Worship Leader! God truly uses those who get prepared, and mostly when you don't expect it! Jimmy, thank you for equipping me for the battlefield and having enough confidence in me to fill in for the adults when you're on vacation."
