Ken Priddy – Bio

Ken Priddy is a seasoned church planter and church development and redevelopment specialist. These disciplines merged in Ken’s ministry as Senior Pastor of Bridgeway Community Church in Phoenix, Arizona, the ReStart of a church that was founded in 1906 and that had dwindled down to six families. In 1993, Ken accepted the call to transplant the remnant of this dying church. By June 2000, Bridgeway was a church of over 300 with an annual budget approaching a half-million dollars. The once struggling church conducted ministry in a new facility on 14 acres of land. Over 100 had been baptized by profession of faith, and Bridgeway was providing dynamic ministries in its own community and in nearby northern Mexico.

In June 2000, ministry called Ken and his family to Richmond, Virginia. A year later, Ken co-founded United Front Ministries with ministry partner, Pat Bragg. As president of United Front, Ken develops training materials, and serves as church development and redevelopment trainer, coach and assessor. Ken also serves his denomination as a member of its national multiplication committee, and he is in position to coordinate church planting efforts in the denomination’s new Mid-Atlantic Mission District, which includes Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina. Formerly, Ken ministered as a conference presenter and coach with the Church Multiplication Training Center of Colorado Springs, CO.

Ken is married to Sharon and has four children, Brooke, Reid, Kara and Dylan. He holds both the Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees from Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando. His dissertation is titled, “How to ReStart the Dying Church”.
