Pastor Kirk Sexton

Kirk, our Associate Pastor for Discipleship, brings a deep passion for guiding others in their journey as apprentices of Jesus. After a successful career in the business world, Kirk felt called to ministry while leading a Bible study. This newfound love for teaching led him to Fuller Theological Seminary, where his desire to deepen his knowledge of God’s Word evolved into a clear calling to pastoral ministry. He earned his M.Div. and has since served in various churches, with a focus on Christian education, before joining Mountain View.

Originally from Minnesota, Kirk is an avid Minnesota Vikings fan and enjoys crafting the perfect fantasy football team. He is also passionate about fishing and photography, finding joy in capturing life’s beautiful moments.

Kirk and his wife Shelly share their love of the Vikings with their three daughters—Alicia, Kylie, and Lily. Whether meeting with members of the congregation over lunch or bringing characters to life for Vacation Bible School, Kirk is always eager to connect with others. Known affectionately around the church as the "Pastor of Fun," he embraces this title with enthusiasm, making discipleship an engaging and joyful experience.
