Kurt Barnes is a devoted husband to Summer, a proud dad, and a massive Oregon Ducks fan. As the Lead Pastor of Silver Creek Fellowship Church in Silverton, Oregon, Kurt has a deep passion for guiding others on their spiritual journeys. His heart for ministry extends far beyond the Pacific Northwest—he has coached PEACE leaders across North America, Poland, and Africa, and actively serves as a cohort leader with Pastors Collective, focusing on the vital work of soul care for fellow pastors.

When he isn’t pastoring or coaching, Kurt is a passionate creator. He shares his insights on living a sustainable, abiding life through his podcasting, blogging, and non-fiction writing. His creative energy also spills over into the world of fiction, where he crafts epic fantasy novels and short stories, along with charming children’s books co-created with his daughter.

At the core of everything Kurt does is a firm belief that God has a unique dream for each person’s life—a plan filled with hope, purpose, and genuine fulfillment.
