Rev. Dr. Walter L. Kimbrough
Senior Pastor

For over a quarter of a century, The Reverend Walter L. Kimbrough’s ministry has been characterized by evangelism, pastoral care, teaching and community service. Further, he has provided leadership at all levels of his denomination, the United Methodist Church. It is only fitting that he should return to the church that he helped to become recognized as "A Light in the Community". In June 1992, Rev. Kimbrough was reassigned to Cascade United Methodist Church as Senior Pastor.

Currently, Reverend Kimbrough serves as National Vice Chair of Black Methodists for Church Renewal, member of North Georgia Conference Committee on Finance and Administration, member of the Coordinating Committee to Strengthen the Black Church of the United Methodist Church, and member, State Housing Trust Fund for the Homeless Commission. He is also a life member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

All praises rightfully belong to God. I thank God consistently for the love and support that you provide for me and Cascade.

Thank you. Amen.
