Answering the Call:
A Life of Ministry, Service, and Evangelism

My name is Barry Young, and I’ve had the privilege of pastoring for over 20 years. My wife and I live in Kansas City, MO, and absolutely love it! The love of Jesus Christ transformed my life 30 years ago, and since then, I’ve been traveling across America, teaching, preaching, and sharing the Good News. Every week, I speak in churches and events across the country—unless we’re taking a week off to rest!

I’ve been blessed to serve at churches of all sizes, from a megachurch of 10,000 people, Water of Life Community Church in Fontana, CA, where I was the Campus Pastor/Small Group Pastor, to New Life Church in the Kansas City area as the Executive Pastor for a congregation of 1,500. I’ve also had the honor of pastoring smaller churches with congregations of 100 and 500 members.

Alongside ministry, I’m passionate about serving my community. For the past 15 years, I’ve had the joy of serving as a Chaplain for the Independence, MO Police Department. Outside of ministry, I’m a devoted fan of KC BBQ, cruising, the Kansas City Chiefs/Royals, and the Kansas Jayhawks!

God has called me to be an Evangelist and Ministry Consultant for the body of Christ, focusing on three key areas:

  1. Preaching

  2. Training/Speaking

  3. Supporting Pastors and First Responders

If you’re interested in having me speak at your event, feel free to explore this site and contact me. We travel across America on a love-offering basis and do not charge churches or organizations to speak. God has incredible plans for your life! Be blessed!
