aboutOur Staff
Ewan Kennedy: Senior Pastor
Ewan was born and raised in Scotland, and worked in construction design and management before moving to the United States and becoming a pastor. Having grown up in a post-Christian country with a personally mixed relationship to the church, Ewan has a lot of sympathy for those who are skeptical of or have been burned by the church and organized religion. He began his ministry career as a pastoral counselor in a church plant and continues to be passionate about those areas and ministry dynamics. He will do almost anything for an espresso and chocolate.
Ewan and his wife Heather have three sons: Calvin, Cooper and Cannon.

Jimmy Brock: Children’s Ministry Director
Jimmy grew up in Northern Virginia and then headed out to California for college. He and Suzanne got married right after he graduated and he taught high school math in inner-city Los Angeles for 3 years. During this time, his sense of calling to pastoral ministry only increased and he and Suzanne headed off to St. Louis with two small boys to attend Covenant Seminary. After four years of seminary and 2 more boys, having gone from east coast to west coast to mid-west, they headed south to come to Atlanta and Church of the Redeemer. Jimmy and Suzanne love to have people in their home, share food, games, and conversation, and watch football.

Don McCook: Churchwarden
After 30 years in education as a teacher and administrator, Don retired and accepted the position of Churchwarden in 2010. He has two degrees in music from Georgia State University and the University of Georgia, and in the past served as director of music for 10 years in a small Anglican congregation. Born to a Methodist minister and raised in Georgia, he feels a special attachment to Church of the Redeemer and its property, because his grandmother's family, the Trimbles, once owned the property (the house stood where Northside Hospital is now) over 100 years ago. Unfortunately, the family sold the property in the 1950's ; which explains why he is the Churchwarden and not the Bishop.

He is presently a student at the Reformed Theological Seminary. Jacob is an outdoorsman, an athlete, an artist, an actor, and an aspiring treasure hunter. Most of all he loves Jesus' Gospel and shares it with anyone who will listen.
