Dr. Kenneth E. Brock Senior Pastor, The New Welcome Missionary Baptist Church Dr. Kenneth E. Brock is a devoted servant of God, known for his unwavering passion for the Word and his deep love for God’s people. His life and ministry overflow with a contagious spirit of generosity, compassion, and humility. Answering the call to preach at the early age of 15, Dr. Brock began his ministry journey under the guidance of the late Dr. Ananias Davis of Welcome Baptist Church.

 

Pastor Davis served not only as his spiritual leader but also as a mentor, providing hands-on training that would shape the foundation of his ministry today. Throughout his teenage years, Dr. Brock traveled across the nation preaching the Gospel, touching lives with his powerful and anointed messages. He furthered his biblical education at Urban Bible Institute, where he received an honorary Doctor of Divinity, and later earned a Doctorate in Theology from Union Baptist Theological Seminary.

 

Today, Dr. Brock joyfully serves as the Senior Pastor of The New Welcome Missionary Baptist Church, leading the congregation with the same fervor and faith instilled in him by his mentor. Standing faithfully by his side is his wife, Mrs. Yvonne Brock—a partner in life and ministry—who supports and serves with him in unity and love. With a vision focused on building and developing people, Pastor Brock is committed to equipping the body of Christ for kingdom service.

 

His life reflects the charge once given to him by Dr. Davis: "A charge to keep I have, and a God to glorify." After more than 50 years of preaching, God has brought him full circle—back to the church where his journey began—to lead with wisdom, passion, and grace. In all his work, he maintains a beautiful balance between ministry, family, and faith, cherishing his time with his beloved wife, children, and grandchildren—his “Papa babies.” Together, Pastor Kenneth Brock and First Lady Yvonne Brock faithfully serve the New Welcome family, giving their hearts, time, and love to the advancement of the Kingdom of God.
