Corey and his wife, Melody, have three children, Caleb, Bennett and Emmy. They cheer

for the Titans and Vols for football, but have been lifelong Kentucky basketball fans. Corey and his family enjoy being active in the community, participating in sports and music, and having

people in their home. They view their activities outside the walls of the church as opportunities to introduce others to Christ and welcome them into the church. Corey sees evangelism,

discipleship, and missions as a vital part of the church’s purpose. He received his Master of

Divinity from Southern Seminary and his Doctor of Ministry from Midwestern Seminary. Corey began serving as Lead Pastor at SFBC in 2020. He’d love the chance to meet you when you visit, or if you’d like to stop by the office! You can also email him at ccain@seymourfbc.org
