Since married in 2004, they have grown their family to include four remarkable and rowdy children. Both being credentialed ministers with the Assemblies of God, pastoral ministry is their heartbeat. Having served as youth pastors, associate pastors, and church planters/lead pastors in Kentucky, they were handed the baton at Northside in the Summer of 2019. With a PhD in Leadership and DMin in Missional Theology, Dr. Vick also serves as adjunct professor for the AG Theological Seminary-Evangel University and for Northpoint Bible College and Seminary.
