PASTOR. HUSBAND.
FATHER. HUMAN.
Reverend Kevin
Leonard Black.
Carolina roots. A Seattle calling. A life still growing.
Originally from North Carolina, Reverend Kevin Leonard Black now calls the Seattle area home. He’s answering a calling to grow Heavens Gate Missionary Baptist Church while learning every day how to be a better husband, father, and pastor.
Starting a church in a place where Christianity isn’t always part of the conversation takes more than a Sunday sermon. It takes listening, building trust, and showing up for people.
Preach Black! brings that journey to the microphone: the questions, the lessons, the small wins, and the grace that keeps it all moving.
