Kim Allen,

Deacon

Christ Church Vero Beach   

Raised in Jacksonville, Fla., by Christian parents, I came to know Jesus at a young age. Active ministry and attending church have always been a core part of my life, primarily assisting my mom in children’s ministry and participating in our church choir and orchestra.

My academic background includes a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Liberty University, and Anglican Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary. Keith and I met in a College & Career Sunday School class, married in 1989, and have served in ministry together ever since.

I have two adult children, Kat and John. Before moving to Vero Beach, I worked as a school counselor and middle school teacher at Hartfield Academy in Mississippi.

Hearing God’s call to ordained ministry in 2017, I pursued diaconate training in the Anglican Diocese of the South and was ordained a Deacon on March 8, 2020 to serve in the Gulf Atlantic Diocese. My heart’s delight is discipling and mentoring women and using my gifts of singing and songwriting to praise my Lord and Savior.
