Kyle Estepp

Kyle Estepp

Kyle Estepp is one of the teaching pastors and elders at Summit Church in Greenville, SC. He is a 2001 graduate of Cedarville University. While there, he met his lovely wife Jamie whom he married in December of 2001. Kyle and Jamie have three children, Taylor Virginia (8), Lily Jo (5), and Carter (2). He enjoys time with family & friends, playing golf, eating great food, watching great movies and cheering on the Ohio State Buckeyes and Pittsburgh Steelers. At Summit Church, they are seeking to glorify God by giving every man, woman, and child within their reach repeated opportunities to see, hear, and respond to the gospel of Jesus Christ without having to come or go anywhere. They desire, by God's grace, to reproduce disciples who live out all the implications of the gospel wherever they do life and have influence. They are committed to the great reality that the gospel will go wherever God wants it to go because it goes in His people, the Church scattered all over the globe. His prayer is that people (including himself) might find no greater affection for their heart and no greater attention for their mind than beholding the beauty of God and making Him known.
