Our Pastor

Dr. Will Stevens began his tenure as pastor of Kendalia Community Church in 2024. Will has preached at churches across the USA and abroad and serves as an adjunct professor of Old Testament at Trinity College and Seminary in Manipur, India. His passion is sharing the unity of the Bible story around God’s Promise Plan (fulfilled in Jesus Christ)  as recorded in the narratives of both the Old and New Testaments.

 After 20 years as a Wall Street executive, Will came to know the Lord in 2009. He followed the Lord’s call to Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, earning his Master of Divinity in Biblical Languages and Steward Leadership followed by a Doctor of Ministry in Old Testament/Preaching. His doctoral studies focused on an Old Testament theology of giving, and produced a best-selling book, God’s Givers: Seven Old Testament Stories of Fearless Giving.  

Will currently serves on the high school faculty at San Antonio Christian School.

Will and his wife Heather have been married since 2009. The Stevens family includes their son Sam (12 years old), adult sons Nick and Greg, Heather’s mother Elizabeth, two cats and a beloved rescue dog who is clearly the Stevens pack leader.
