Leadership

Pastor Kevin Darnell is the Senior Pastor and helped plant Intentional Love in 2013. He is married to his lovely bride Sonya and they have 3 children (Hannah, Abby, and Samuel), 1 son-in-law (John McGuire), and 5 grandchildren. Pastor Kevin enjoys watching college football and his favorite team is Clemson University. He enjoys ministering to people, preaching and teaching God’s Word, and spending time with his family.

I have had the privilege of leading worship at Intentional Love since day one. I believe that the Bible shows us that God always defines how He is worshipped. He deeply desires for us to encounter Him in a meaningful way during corporate worship. So, we strive every week to discover how God wants to be worshipped that week and follow His lead. We do a wide variety of music that is united in theme with the message. I hope that you will join us for worship soon.

Hello, I am Perry Whitley
My lovely wife, Pat, and I have been married for 42 yeas, having three children, 13 grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
I am a member of iLove's worship band and thoroughly enjoy helping lead worship on Sunday mornings; praising the Lord in music and in song!
With each Bible verse I read, there is a search for God's direction in my life; how does it apply to me? How should I apply it to my life?
Finally, it is an honor to serve God with my fellow elders. I firmly believe, He brought us together to serve Him, for His Glory! 

My wife Debbie and I have been married for 27 years.  We have four children: Matthew, Luke, John, and Elizabeth.
I grew up in Fuquay-Varina and had the privilege of being raised in a Christian home.
I am blessed to work with our church’s Trail Life troop, which allows me to disciple young men and spend time in God’s creation.
