Philip De Courcy is the senior pastor of Kindred Community Church in Anaheim Hills, California, and speaker on the daily radio program, Know The Truth.

Philip was born in Belfast, Ireland, to Christian parents who instilled in him a love for the Lord, Jesus Christ. At sixteen years of age, Philip trusted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior.

Growing up in a neighborhood where civil tension was commonplace, many of Philip’s friends became involved in acts of terrorism. As a result, Philip decided to serve as a part-time reserve police officer in the Royal Ulster Constabulary in North Belfast. Although some of his comrades were injured and even killed during that six-year period, Philip was unharmed. To this day, he believes God used this faith-building season to prepare him for pastoral ministry.

After receiving pastoral training, Philip spent six years shepherding the congregation of Carr Baptist Church in Lisburn, a suburb of Belfast. Then, in 1994, Philip relocated his family to The United States, serving in churches in southern California and central Ohio. In 2007 Philip began his current ministry as senior pastor at Kindred Community Church.

The daily radio broadcast, Know The Truth, was launched in March 2010, on three local radio stations in southern California. The program features Philip’s expository Bible teaching and is hosted by broadcast veteran, Wayne Shepherd.

Philip and his wife, June, have three grown daughters and one son-in law.

Hal is a graduate of Taylor University (‘71), and Dallas Seminary (ThM,‘78) and Denver Seminary (DMin,‘88). In his first ministry at First Baptist Church, Dallas, Hal taught the Medical-Dental Sunday School class and found himself immersed in a full-time ministry with medical and dental students, residents, faculty, and physicians and dentists in practice. During this ministry, he learned of the Christian Medical Society (CMS) through his mentor Haddon Robinson who was then part-time General Director of CMS while teaching at Dallas Seminary.
Through his friendship with Joe Bayly, who followed Dr. Robinson as General Director of CMS, Hal then transitioned from the work at First Baptist Church to a full-time ministry with CMS. He first served as a regional director for TX, OK, KS, and NE, then as national staff director. He completed his tenure at CMS (now CMDA) by serving for 7 years as the General Director. He is a Lifetime Member of CMDA.
In 1993 God led them to leave CMDA to become pastor at Dallas Bible Church when he served as senior pastor for 21+ years.
Completing that ministry in 2015, Hal launched Finishing Well Ministries (FWM). FWM is a preaching, teaching, discipling ministry to seniors in churches and senior living facilities primarily in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. FWM is a 501c3 approved organization, an ECFA member, and operates under the authority of an excellent board.
