Are you wanting someone who just makes teens laugh, or someone who can have a biblical impact on them for eternity’s sake?

My friend, teens in every generation need the Bible preached and taught to them. Bro. Kurt Copeland is not only a great preacher of the Word, but also a wonderful mentor. His passion to see souls saved and lives changed has always been at the forefront of his ministry, whether they be teens or adults. God has gifted Bro.

Youth Pastor Jonathan Carr Sr.
Faith Baptist Church

“Bro. Copeland has been a real encouragement and true friend to my family directly and to our ministry at Goodman Road Baptist Church. Whether you are a teenager at summer camp or an adult meeting him for the first time, Bro. Kurt is personable and always willing to give you his time. I’ve known Bro. Kurt for many years now and I have observed him remain extremely consistent in his walk with God and in preaching the truth of God’s Word. I believe with all my heart Bro. Kurt strives to live out what he preaches. It is easy to sense the Holy Spirit’s leading in his ministry as well as his submission to the Holy Spirit as I know he has preached messages that he as a man did not want to preach and I know he has made decisions by faith that didn't make sense to him as a man, but in the end, God greatly used them for His glory. The great thing about Bro. Kurt is you get 2 for 1! His wife, Christy, is just as much a blessing as he is. She has truly been there for our family and she brings great joy to those who are around her. I thank God for giving my family and I the privilege of having the friendship we have with Bro. Kurt and Mrs. Christy and their daughters. I highly recommend having them to your church and giving them the opportunity to minister to your people. I guarantee ahead of time they will be a true blessing to you.”

Pastor Phillip Pinkston

“From the first time I met Bro. Kurt to the present, his love for God and his love for people is easily witnessed. God has used him to impact not only my life but also the life of my family and church family - whether it has been through preaching, prayer, or counseling or friendship. He is a man of integrity, character, and passion for God. I could not give anyone a higher recommendation. I know that Bro. Kurt and Mrs. Christy would be a great blessing to you and your church.
