Charles David Kennedy was born on October 6, 1965, to Eugene and Nancy Kennedy in Noblesville, IN. Although not raised in a Christian home, Chuck still attended church from time to time as a child and a teenager. Through the influence of his future wife Kim and father-in-law, he accepted Jesus as his personal Savior on October 22, 1983, at Bethel Baptist Church in Noblesville, IN. He and his wife, Kimberly Kay Shomaker (Kennedy) were married on August 3, 1985, during his sophomore year at Wabash College in Crawfordsville, IN. After graduating with his B.A. in May, 1988, and working for GMAC in Indianapolis, Chuck and Kim decided to move to Lincoln, NE, and attend law school at the University of Nebraska. While living in Lincoln, attending Unity Missionary Baptist Church, and staying with his inlaws, Chuck first felt God leading him into the ministry. After returning to Indiana, he accepted God's call to the ministry in April, 1993. He was ordained on October 22, 1994, and accepted his first pastorate at First Missionary Baptist Church in Corcoran, CA, in May 1995. After pastoring in California for 5 years, the Lord opened the door for him to return to Indiana and come to CBC in July, 2000. Chuck and Kim have 3 girls: identical twins, Lauren and Sarah, their youngest, Rebecca. They have 6 grandsons, Matthew, Henry, & Emerson, Judah, Oliver, and 1 granddaughter, Tessa. Chuck enjoys hunting, fishing, and anything to do with sports. Most of all, he enjoys loving the people God has blessed him with at CBC and reaching others with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
