​THE REV. CURTIS KENNINGTON, RECTOR

ckennington@immanuel-highlands.org
​Originally from Mobile, Alabama, the Reverend Curtis Kennington taught and recorded music professionally in Fairhope, Alabama, before moving the family to New York City to attend General Seminary. Following seminary, he returned to the Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast to serve as the 5th Rector of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, Troy, Alabama. After three faithful years, Curt answered the call as 10th Rector of Immanuel Highlands Episcopal Church.

Curt has long been associated with the arts, having been a musician. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Educational Studies for Exceptional Students from the University of West Florida and a Master of Divinity from General Seminary.

Most important to Curt is his family: Sellers, his wife, and Grayton and Henry, their sons. (And Mocha, the rescue dog.) They travel, they adventure, they enjoy movies and the arts. They are all grateful and enthusiastic about the move to Wilmington, and look forward to planting deep roots.
