Having grown up in Ohio, Dr. Kevin McWilliams has spent his adult life thawing out in Florida, the West Indies, and South Carolina. His ministry has included discipling some awesome young people as a youth pastor in Orlando, Fl., helping churches in the West Indies to train their leaders, and church planting back in Orlando. Seeing believers nurtured and equipped for life and ministry is what gets him up in the morning. Dr. McWilliam’s favorite people are his wife Lainie, their wonderful children and spouses, and their precious grandchildren.  And whenever he finds time, he enjoys walking and woodworking.  He is amazed at God's grace and grateful for the privilege of serving Him at CIU.
