Philip De Courcy
Pastor & Author
Philip De Courcy
Steeped in Biblical wisdom and always quick with a joke, Philip is senior pastor of Kindred Community Church and dynamic speaker on the national media program, Know The Truth. Yet behind the Irish accent and witty humor is a man who truly loves the Lord. Born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Philip trusted Jesus Christ as his personal savior at age 16. As an adult, he became an engineer by trade, and spent six years as a part-time reserve police officer in North Belfast, where civil tension and terrorism was commonplace.
After being called to full-time ministry and receiving pastoral training, Philip spent six years at Carr Baptist Church in Lisburn, a suburb of Belfast. In 1994, he relocated his family to the U.S., graduated from The Master’s Seminary and served in churches in Southern California and central Ohio, before becoming senior pastor at Kindred in 2007. He and his wife June have three grown daughters, one son-in-law. He’s an avid reader, devoted follower of Christ, and a die-hard Buckeyes fan.

Aaron Miller grew up in Washington D.C. where he was raised in a Christian lifestyle, but didn’t become a Christ-follower until Christ saved him at the age of 18. Aaron has been married to his wife Ingrid for 16 years. They both studied Philosophy and Theology at The College at Southeastern in Wake Forest, N.C. He later went on to receive a Master’s of Divinity in Christian Apologetics at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is very passionate about his family.

Aaron moved to SCV 7 years ago, where he currently serves as the Pastor of Students and Families at Grace Baptist Church.

Mary Rice Hopkins
Receiving the “Parent’s Choice Award” and Dove Foundation Seal of Approval, the ministry and music of Mary Rice Hopkins is timeless. Her simple yet profound melodies have captured the hearts of children and families for over 30 years around the world.
Mary’s career began with the praise and worship sounds of Wendy and Mary (Sparrow/EMI). She has set the foundation for many children’s artists throughout the country.
Point Loma University, San Diego, CA, awarded her the Lifetime Achievement Award for excellence in Christian service and ministry.
Her songs have been recorded and published through Maranatha! Music, TimeLife, Group Publishing, Standard Publishing, Cook Communications Ministries, Gospel Light, and Daughters of St. Paul. Mary has produced 30 CD’s and 6 DVD’s.
The children’s book Noah was published by Crossway. Safe in the Fold, Lost and Found and Come Back Home were published through FaithKidz (Cook Communications Ministries). Mary has also self-published seven curriculum books with accompanying CD’s.
More recently, Mary has teamed with Darcie Maze of “Puppets with a Heart” for a weekly TV special every Saturday morning at 8:30 PST on Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). This character-based show uses music, puppetry, and lessons which touch the heart. Mary’s passion is to make a difference in hearts and lives.
The International Network of Children’s Ministers (INCM) awarded Mary their Legacy Award in 2014.
Darcie Maze
For over 40 years Darcie Maze has captivated the hearts of children and adults with her exceptional gift of puppetry. In addition, she is known nationally for her teacher-training workshops and seminars, crossing many denominational lines. However, Darcie is best known for designing her own distinctive line of puppets that all have a removable heart. They are found in over 150 countries. One of her puppets is currently seen on the Cartoon Network.
Darcies most recent adventure is starring, along with her puppets, in a television series “Mary Rice Hopkins and Puppets with a Heart”. It airs Saturday morning on TBN, and on Smile of a Child network world wide.
Darcie began her children’s ministry at age 12, designing her own unique puppets. Today she is not only a skilled puppeteer (using puppets with or without a stage), she is also a much-demanded teacher/trainer with a gift for motivating and equipping the body of Christ with teaching tools. Her vision is to train teachers for children’s ministry and supply resources that are easy to use.
After studying Child Evangelism at Christ for Nations Institute in Dallas , Texas , and Life Bible College , she became an ordained minister. Since 2003, Darcie has teamed with Mary Rice Hopkins who is internationally known for her music ministry to children and families. They have combined their unique gifts to provide exciting family concerts and much-demanded creative teacher-training workshops that are ministering to the church at large.
