Pastor Kory grew up in a Christian home in Washington state. He accepted Christ in 2010 at a Christian camp. Not too long after becoming a Christian his family experienced some trials when his mother passed away in December 2011. This was a difficult time for him and his family, but ultimately God used it to strengthen they’re faith. In November of that year, Kory attended a youth conference that was focused on being the “one” to stand up for Christ. Feeling the call to serve God in full time ministry, he accepted that call.

He graduated from West Coast Baptist College with a bachelor’s degree in Religious Education and Missions in 2019. He has worked in various ministry positions including worship, youth, and children's ministry.
