Pastor Kevin and Melinda Edgington came to the House of Restoration in August of 2002. They have been working together in Children’s Ministry for over 23 years. Pastor Kevin and Melinda have served the children and families of the House of Restoration for the past seven years. They are both graduates of Greenville College. Pastor Kevin has served on the Southern Ohio Children’s Ministry Committee and other steering committees related to Children’s Ministry in the Church of God. They have two sons, Thaddaeus and Nathan who also volunteer in Children’s Ministry at the House of Restoration.

Kevin and Melinda love sharing God’s word through creative use of music, puppets, clowns, illusions, special characters and stick ministry. They have ministered through camps, crusades and community outreaches. The Edgingtons are a great example of family ministry.

About

My favorite verse is… Ephesians 4:12, “To prepare God’s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up.” That verse sums it up for me. I am called to prepare the children of the House of Restoration to serve and by doing so, I am equipping an army that will build up Christ.

My best advice for the next generation is… to learn and grow spiritually strong while serving others now! Don’t accept the terms next or future generations. Serve God with all your heart now!

My favorite TV series of all time… has to be MASH hands down. I own every episode and if you call me at home late in the evening, you’ll probably hear it in the background.

A perfect day would consist of… me ministering to children one on one or in a group setting and not have any other daily distractions.

Before I joined the House of Restoration staff… I worked approximately 15 years as a Case Manager for a County Board of Mental Retardation, Developmental Disabilities. I have often stated since beginning here that the worst day at the House of Restoration is better than the best day as a Case Manager.
