Kyle Gatlin

Senior Pastor

Kyle came to Covenant in 1999 after serving as Pastor of churches in Blountstown, Florida, and Montgomery, AL. He has been married to Deandra since 1991 (Kyle wanted this in his bio so he wouldn’t forget the year). They have a daughter, Jordan, and a son, Sterling, who, along with his wife, the former Amy Brooks – have two boys – Brooks and Wells. Kyle was named Senior Pastor of Covenant on August 17, 2022, after Dr. Hays McKay lost his three-year battle with cancer on July 16, 2022. In his off time, Kyle is a football official with AHSAA, feeds two horses most every morning, and enjoys spending time with his grandsons and playing with cars (not on his own, but with his grandson Brooks.).
