Kit Bogan

LEAD PASTOR

Pastor Kit began serving as our Lead Pastor at EBCC in August 2024. He studied at Moody Bible Institute and Dallas Theological Seminary and served in pastoral roles in Indiana and the UP before coming to TC. He and his wife Brooke got married in 2009, and they love their three kids, Caroline, Jack, and Lucy!

Outside of work, Pastor Kit enjoys playing guitar and singing. He keeps jelly beans and M&Ms in his office to share with kids who visit––or with whoever needs an extra boost in their day! He's also a language nerd, keeping his Duolingo streak alive with Spanish, Czech, and others.
