Pastor “K” as she is affectionately called, is a native of Orlando, FL. She graduated from Oak Ridge High School, attended Valencia College, United Bible College, El Bethel Bible Institute, and is a graduate of International Seminary. She has earned several certificates in theology and has attended training for Christian counseling. She is certified as a Suicide Crises Counselor and received several Trauma Informed trainings.

An effective communicator of God’s Word, Pastor Kynthia Arrington is widely known for her practical and dynamic teaching style which helps people apply the timeless truths of Scripture to their everyday lives. She is an advocate and teacher of the performing arts and uses this medium of expression to minister as well. She’s written, produced, and directed several plays, written songs, choreographed hundreds of liturgical dances, and created hundreds of costumes all for the enhancement and the sharing of the gospel. Pastor “K” has had her own radio broadcast, she’s traveled the country preaching, and teaching. Her ministry has also gone international with several missionary trips to the Bahamas, Jamaica, and South Africa.

In 2015 Kynthia Arrington became a part of the Heart of Florida United Way 211 Crises Hotline. After the Pulse Night Club Tragedy, she became a part of the Orlando United Assistance Center team and has served as an intake specialist, receptionist administrative assistant, and data manager. She’s always focused on helping others and takes pride in all that she does.

Kynthia was married for 29 years to her high school sweetheart who is also the father of her 5 biological children and 1 daughter whom she adopted at age 14. All of her children work with her in ministry.

Now divorced, Pastor Arrington understands the importance of mental health counseling. She declares that it is one of the most important factors that she employed to help her manage the broken pieces of her life- before, during, and after the trauma of divorce.

In her own words, “As community leaders, we are often left depleted of energy because we have poured out so much to others. I learned that self-care is very important. As a pastor who understands that I have a clarion call to the brokenhearted and a mandate to share the good news of the gospel with the world. I am a leader who is called to “broken” people. I myself am broken and understand first hand the restorative and sustaining power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. My teachings include the word of God of course but I also promote mental health and self-care. During this season in the history of the local church, there are so many pastors or church leaders taking their own lives. I believe it’s due to the fact that we are burnt out and there is no personal monitoring or accountability of our own lives.

We sacrifice our hearts, homes, our time, and mental and physical health while helping others- often ending up depleted with no strength to fight. This has to stop! I believe that God’s Word, mental health, and self-care are personal requirements every individual needs to be “our best-self” in their home, church, business, and the marketplace. My favorite scripture and testimony, “In Him I live, move, breathe and have my being” Acts 17:28. I have a perfect understanding that without the sacrifice of Jesus, I am nothing.”

Because of Christ,

Pastor “K”
