Meet Our Pastor
Alex Howell is the Lead Pastor of Vine Hill Church, which was planted on September 15, 2024. Born and raised in the Kansas City metro area, Alex grew up playing football and, in 2014, felt called by the Lord to return home from college to pursue ministry. Over the past decade, he has completed Bible classes through Global University, a year-long church planting residency, a six-month apprenticeship program, and served as both a Kids Director and Family Pastor.
In 2017, Alex married his wife, Karina Howell, who now serves as the Kids and Outreach Director at Vine Hill Church. Karina, a native of Mexico City, Mexico, moved to the United States in 2009. Over their eight years of marriage, the Lord has blessed them with three children: AJ, Nyah, and Camilah.
Together, Alex and Karina’s heart is to build a multi-ethnic, multi-generational, and Jesus-centered church in Kansas City.
