Bucky Kennedy has been in ministry for over 40 years. In that time, he has served as a student pastor, a lead pastor for three different congregations, and a traveling evangelist. Bucky is currently Lead Pastor at North Hall Church in Gainesville, Georgia. He loves to share the truth of God’s Word through whatever means available—whether it’s preaching, podcasting, writing devotions, or blogging. Bucky is known for his commonsense approach to applying the Bible in everyday life.
Bucky’s passion for Scripture comes from a deep-seated gratitude for his salvation. Although he grew up in church, Bucky describes those years as living “good ole’ boy” Christianity, where Saturday night sins were followed by Sunday morning hymns. But that all changed on November 28, 1983. In Bucky’s words, “I was awakened by an overwhelming fear of dying and going to Hell. Right then and there I asked God to save me and knew immediately that I was being called to preach.”
Bucky met his wife, Stacey, while attending Georgia Southern University. And next to Jesus, she is clearly the most important person in his life. Bucky and Stacey have served the Lord side-by-side for over three decades. They have two grown children and three grandchildren.
