Pastor Kindra Green Carson
Kindra loves nothing more than cracking open ancient texts and discovering they have everything to say about our chaotic, beautiful, wild lives right now. With a Bachelor's in Religious Studies, a Master's in Minor Prophets (yes, that's a thing, and yes, they're her favorite), and a Doctorate in Missional Leadership, she's equal parts scholar and street-level practitioner—someone who can geek out over a Hebrew verb form and then show up at a community meeting to fight for housing justice. She lives and breathes this truth: the greatest picture of heaven is a very long table, with good food, no outsiders, and radical grace.
Raised Pentecostal, Kindra carries the fire of her tradition while blazing new trails through rigorous study and radical neighborly love. She's spent the last 27 years doing ministry—5+ years directing college ministries, 5 as an associate pastor, 9 years chaplaining in corporate spaces, and doing the slow, sacred work of building beloved community in City Heights with her husband Brian and their twin boys
