Hello, I’m Pastor Kent Zimmermann.
I want to share a bit of who I am, but more about who God has called me to be; which is the vision and mission of Turning Point Ministry. My wife Candy and I have been married 40 years (she says, "one day at a time) with two wonderful adult children. I am a 2nd career pastor. In my first career, I was a Financial Analyst and Contract Negotiator for the Defense Industry. That was the first 24 years of my adult life, and the training ground for ministry. Budgeting, administration and supervision is necessary in every business. What a wonderful rock for God to build a ministry upon...

       Similar to the Apostle Peter, I denied my calling from God 3 times. On the third call, I answered. My desire was to take the good of the past, combined with God’s vision for the future, blend them together to reach those who were not in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the "Lost." My calling is to take advantage of technology and apply it to ministry in a way that makes God personal to the people of today’s society. We must speak to today’s people in today’s language. So, Turning Point is a Faith Family, not a "church." We are "Friends helping friends follow Jesus."
