Burdened to see discipleship restored to the local church and in the life of every believer, Dr. Kennon Vaughan birthed Downline Ministries in 2004. Kennon is a visionary, catalytic leader as well as a gifted teacher and speaker. He spent a year studying under Pastor Tom Nelson before completing a Master’s Degree in Biblical Studies from Dallas Theological Seminary and a Doctorate in Evangelism and Discipleship from Gordon-Conwell Seminary. In addition to discipleship training and Bible teaching in the Downline Institute, he has served as the keynote speaker for events and conferences across the country. Kennon is the Lead Pastor of Harvest Church Memphis. Kennon and his wife, Kathryn, are the proud parents of their sons Caleb, Luke, Jonathan, David, and Mac.
