SENIOR PASTOR
KEVIN BARRA
We are excited to share that Kevin Barra, who has faithfully served as our Tomball Campus Pastor, has been asked to step into the role of Senior Pastor of Bayou City Fellowship. In this role, he will also assume primary responsibility as the Campus Pastor for Spring Branch. We believe this decision reflects God’s provision and aligns with His vision for our church.
Pastor Kevin brings a deep love for Christ, a passion for preaching God's Word, and a heart for making disciples and building leaders. He joined Bayou City Fellowship in the summer of 2020 as campus pastor of Tomball but has decades of pastoral experience dating back to his time in College Station, Texas.
He is joined by his wonderful wife, Hillary Barra, and their four children. He is excited about this opportunity and looks forward to meeting and serving more of the Bayou City Family.
