Born and raised in the southeastern United States, Kennedy completed his undergraduate education in business administration before beginning his career supporting client service at a small financial consulting firm and later advancing from territory management into branch operations at a national wholesale coffee distributor. It was during these years that he came to know and love God personally through Christ.
Responding to a calling to ministry, he completed his graduate education in theology. Newly married, he and Ali then moved overseas for further theological and pastoral training—a cross-cultural season that forged their collaborative approach to ministry. Upon receiving his first pastoral call, he was ordained and began his service at UCM in 2015.
Today, Pastor Noah shares in guiding the church’s teaching and worship while stewarding opportunities for people to thoughtfully explore the Christian faith and grow more deeply in it. For Noah and Ali, ministry at UCM and family life are naturally integrated. Alongside their four children, they have a heart for cross-cultural hospitality—welcoming individuals and families settling into a new country while cultivating genuine connection and belonging within the life of the church. The Kennedys are grateful to call the Philippines home.
