Brad Kenn

DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT

Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, Brad Kenn found a remarkable sense of community through his youth group and unforgettable summers at Mingus Mountain Church Camp. It was there that he first discovered his calling to ministry. After high school, Brad earned a Bachelor of Arts in Youth Ministry from Pfeiffer University. Encouraged by his professors to pursue his calling, Brad joined the United Methodist Church’s Young Adult Missionary Program. The Program took him to Belo Horizonte, Brazil, where he worked with Sombra e Água Fresca, an after-school program, and later served in Gainesville, Florida, at the University of Florida’s campus ministry. These experiences deepened Brad's passion for working with youth and young adults, ultimately leading him to pursue a Master of Divinity at Wesley Theological Seminary.

In 2021, Brad served as a Site Supervisor with PTDC during the COVID-adjusted summer. He is excited to rejoin the PTDC team, where he feels he can continue to engage in a different kind of ministry while fostering growth, curiosity, and resilience in the next generation.
