Pastor Kenneth Evins-With the Lord

With joy and sadness I write this tribute to our beloved pastor and my father, Pastor Kenneth Evins, who went to be with Jesus on February 21st, 2009. My dad battled cancer for the last two years, but his time finally came to be in the presence of the Lord. I'll miss my dad. He was a tireless worker who really cared about people. His greatest desire in life was to point people to the Savior. He spent his life in ministry-preaching the Word of God and being a witness for Christ. He loved me unconditionally and was always giving up his desires for mine. Even as an adult, my dad would stop everything to come bail me out of a difficulty I might be having. He always had an answer to the problem and could figure out how to fix anything. We will miss our Pastor. Pastor Ken started Trinity Baptist Church and pastored the church for over 29 years. He also was the first Pastor at Riviera Baptist Church back in 1969. He will be greatly missed by all of us. Today my dad truly can understand his life's verse-Phil 1:6. "Being confident of this very thing. that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the Day of Jesus Christ." The Day of Jesus Christ has been fufilled for my dad, Pastor Kenneth Evins.
