OUR STAFF | New Creation Church

Pastor: Keith Gunter

Keith has been married to his wife, Amy, for 20 years. They have 3 children: Autumn (13), Noah (11), and Macy (9). In 2011 they made Hendersonville, TN their home from Marietta, GA. Their call to plant a church in this community was a clear moment in which God was guiding them in a new way of experiencing Christ.

The Gunters are thrilled to be a part of such a caring community. You can usually find them outside enjoying the local parks, or riding bikes through the neighborhood.

Keith is the chaplain of the Hendersonville Rotary club, a member of Leadership Sumner (Class of 2013), on the organizing team for Sumner County Younglife, and a soccer coach. He has served as VP of the Sumner County Drug Court and as a board member of the Sumner YMCA.

He's a big fan of coffee, so feel free to reach out for a coffee meet up!
