Our Pastor
Rev. Don Kerns
Don came to Springwood in April 2001 and serves as the Pastor. He grew up in Ripley, West Virginia where many relatives still live. He earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Astronautical Engineering from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado and was commissioned as an officer in the US Air Force before he felt the call to ministry. For six years he served in Space Operations. He received his Master of Divinity degree from Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California. Don has served in various ministries through Trinity United Methodist Church in Denver, First Presbyterian Church of Colorado Springs, and Sherman Oaks Presbyterian in California.
Don is happily married to Amy, a part-time PA (Physician Assistant) and a full-time mother and wife. Don and Amy have a son, Luke, and a daughter, Rachel. Besides working at Springwood and spending time with his family, Don enjoys reading, cycling, the outdoors, music, and photography.
