Kody & Family

Kody was born in Connecticut and lived there until he was seven, when his family relocated to the Charlotte area of North Carolina. Growing up, he was surrounded by addiction and the brokenness that often comes with it.

By the age of 15, Kody himself turned to drugs and alcohol. During high school, he began partying and regularly using prescription pills. His struggle developed into a full-blown addiction, leading him to steal to fund his habit.

At 18, after a series of life-altering events, Kody entered a rehab facility in South Carolina. On his third night there—desperate and without any other answers—he cried out to God for help. That night, God saved him and completely changed his life. In the days that followed, Kody sensed clearly that God was calling him into ministry.

After completing rehab, Kody attended Fruitland Bible College. During his time there, God not only deepened his love for ministry but also placed a burden on his heart to return to New England to plant a church.

In January 2014, that calling became reality. Kody moved back to New England and settled in Massachusetts. It was during this season that he sensed a specific call to Gloucester and knew this was the place God wanted him to start a church.

Later that year, in October 2014, Kody married Lindsey Glasier. Lindsey grew up in Colorado and had moved to New England with her family more than a decade earlier.

In 2015, Kody graduated with a degree in Christian Ministries from Liberty University. In 2019, he completed his Master’s in Theological Studies from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and he is currently finishing his Master of Divinity.
