Dr. Kevin Lewis McCreless, pastor of Broadway Baptist Church in Rainsville, Alabama, passed away on October 16, 2025, at the age of 67. Known affectionately as ‘Brother Kevin,’ he served his church for an incredible 33 years, guiding countless souls, leading outreach ministries like Hope House and Celebrate Recovery, and shepherding his congregation with unwavering faith.
In a statement, Broadway Baptist shared:
Our hearts are broken but we rejoice in knowing that Bro. Kevin met Jesus face to face & heard the words “well done thy good and faithful servant.” ❤️ “But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope.” 1 Thessalonians 4:13
Under his leadership, Broadway Baptist became a spiritual beacon, and in honor of his service, the church sanctuary was renamed the McCreless Worship Center. His dedication extended beyond the pulpit—he inspired the community, built ministries, and nurtured families in Christ’s love.
Dr. McCreless earned degrees from Samford University, Beeson Divinity School, and Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. His pastoral journey began in 1982, and over four decades, he served multiple churches before his impactful tenure at Broadway Baptist.
He and his wife Terri raised two children, Luke and Katie, who continue to honor his legacy. The Alabama House of Representatives formally recognized his decades of faithful service through HR68, highlighting a life devoted entirely to ministry, mentorship, and community impact.

Join us in prayer for Bro. Kevin’s wife Terri, his children Luke and Katie, his grandchildren, the Broadway Baptist Church family, and the Rainsville community. May God’s comfort, peace, and hope surround them all.
