Ernie Wayne Perry

Ernie and his family came to Broadway in 2011.  He focuses mainly on the overall leadership and direction of the church.  His preaching style matches his personality – energetic and sincere.  He came to Broadway after 13 years at Southland Christian Church as a Discipleship Pastor. He attended Kentucky Christian University and is known for his legendary basketball skills.   Ernie also meets on Saturday mornings at the church for our IRONMAN group.

The rest of the staff, in alphabetical order…

 

Connie Conkright
Children's Minister

Connie joined the staff in 2013 to lead BroadwayKids into a new phase of growth and development.  She has years of varied experience loving on and teaching kiddos about Jesus’ love.  Connie is passionate about her hunky husband, her three beautiful daughters and her adorable grands.  Connie is known to carry along a few “friends” with her… be on the lookout for Spot T. Dog, Mootilda, or a stray gym sock to become your new best friend, too!

Craig Yates
Pastoral Care Min.

Every church needs a body builder on staff.  Craig is BCC’s.  After growing up in Ohio, Craig went to Kentucky Christian University and then began to work in various churches in Kentucky.  He’s been with BCC since 2005 and has provided oversight in missions, pastoral care, and seniors ministry.  If you like to sweat and travel to help out others around the country and the world, Craig is the guy to talk to.

Doug Piatt
Executive Minister

Doug’s list of duties includes the proverbial kitchen sink.  He oversees staff development and helps program just about everything that goes on.  He’s in charge of the staff’s fiscal responsibilities as well and the management of the facility (and BCC is a busy place!).  He wears many hats at BCC and he even plays above the rim.

Kayla Joy Hurst
Urban Minister

Did you hear that scream?  Yes, that is Kayla excited for her role as the Urban Minister.  Kayla joined the BCC staff in January 2010, and shifted responsibilities in 2013 to oversee the ever-expanding world of Urban Ministry.  Her sheer passion to reach out to those in our community can inspire even the most pensive individual.  Get ready to get excited…or else!

Kelli Herrera
Administrative Assistant

Kelli came to BCC this year to help us stay organized because our ministry staff was in serious need.  That’s just a joke, but she does a great job helping Ernie, Doug, and the rest stay focused on the ministries they oversee.  If we’re being honest (which we should always be), Kelli plays an important and special part in the day-to-day work of the church.  She is also a proud wife and mom to a little boy.

Kim Sowers
Administrative Assistant

Kim is another of our awesome Administrative Assistants. She has a big family and resides in the booming metropolis of Wilmore, Ky.  She was brought on staff this year because of her heart for ministry and the local church.  Not surprisingly, her husband and children are just the same.  Kim focuses on keeping Ernie organized and out of trouble, but has been known to do the same for other staff.

Kyle Leadingham
Student Minister

Kyle came to BCC in May of 2012. Kyle’s better half is Kristin. They have one dog and one baby seal (actually just a really fat dog who looks like a baby seal). Kyle looks about half his age, which would be great if he were 40, but bad when some of our high school students look older than him. He loves writing, reading, and playing basketball. He’s a big fan of the UK Wildcats, and is excited to be living in the epicenter of college basketball! If you haven’t already met Kyle, you should give him a call. He needs more friends.

Dr. Mark Deakins
Worship Leader

Mark is our worship leader and choir director. He brings to BCC lots of experience because he used to run the music department at Kentucky Christian University, was a guest conductor at Carnegie Hall, was a high school choir director, performed with his choirs at Gaither concerts, and…and…and.  Needless to say, this is one talented guy.  He oversees both our Classic and Contemporary services and makes a mean quiche and is fluent in 37 languages. Well, not really. But it wouldn’t surprise us.
