Philip De Courcy is the senior pastor of Kindred Community Church in Anaheim Hills, California, and speaker on the daily radio program, Know The Truth.

Philip was born in Belfast, Ireland, to Christian parents who instilled in him a love for the Lord, Jesus Christ.\\xa0 At sixteen years of age, Philip trusted Jesus Christ as his personal Savior.

Growing up in a neighborhood where civil tension was commonplace, many of Philip\\u2019s friends became involved in acts of terrorism.\\xa0 As a result, Philip decided to serve as a part-time reserve police officer in the Royal Ulster Constabulary in North Belfast.\\xa0 Although some of his comrades were injured and even killed during that six-year period, Philip was unharmed.\\xa0 To this day, he believes God used this faith-building season to prepare him for pastoral ministry.\\xa0

After receiving pastoral training, Philip spent six years shepherding the congregation of Carr Baptist Church in Lisburn, a suburb of Belfast. Then, in 1994,

Philip relocated his family to The United States, serving in churches in southern California and central Ohio. In 2007 Philip began his current ministry as senior pastor at Kindred Community Church.\\xa0

The daily radio broadcast, Know The Truth, was launched in March 2010, on three local radio stations in southern California.\\xa0 The program features Philip\\u2019s expository Bible teaching and is hosted by broadcast veteran, Wayne Shepherd.

He and his wife, June have three grown daughters and one son-in law.
