Kathryn Hanley

My name is Pastor Kathryn Hanley, and I am blessed to serve as one of the Youth Pastors here at Eagle Mountain International Church. I have had the honor of working with the youth since coming on staff here at EMIC in 2018. My husband, Holden, also serves alongside me as we minister the Word of Faith to teenagers. Holden and I were married in May of 2018, became foster parents in 2022, and now have three wonderful little girls that we made part of our family through adoption in January of 2024.

I was raised most of my life in Tulsa, Oklahoma and grew up in church. My dad was a Rhema Bible College graduate and my mom was a Children's Pastor, so I grew up around the Word of God. I met Jesus at a young age and was blessed to have been raised in a home where the gift of faith was deeply instilled in me. I grew up listening to the teachings of Kenneth Copeland, Keith Moore, Jesse Duplantis, Kenneth Hagin, and many more. I accepted Jesus as my Savior at a young age and was later baptized in the Holy Spirit during my freshman year of college at Oral Roberts University. I was water baptized in the Jordan River in Israel in 2015. While at ORU, I recognized the call to fivefold ministry on my life. I have had the privilege of ministering the Word of God all over the world on the mission field in Africa, Asia, South America, Central America, and the Middle East. However, I sensed the call to pastor on my life. I am passionate about the discipleship of the Church, about ministering identity and purpose through the Word of God and about bringing truth and hope to the body of Christ and to the next generation through teaching and discipleship. While at ORU, I received my degree in Ministry and Leadership with a double minor in Missions and Humanities, and I met my husband, Holden. It was right after that when the Lord led our family to Fort Worth, TX to be a part of what God is doing here at the Revival Capital of the World!

Working with teenagers is one of my favorite things. My biggest passion is to see the next generation of young people on fire and hungry for more of the Presence of God in their lives. In the midst of a world where teenagers are searching for answers, belonging, and identity, I am passionate to show our students who they really are in the Word of God so they can be victorious in every area of life! We teach them how to live by faith in His Word in practical ways, whether that's through creative illustrations, discussions, or simply walking with them in each season. There is nothing more exciting than seeing our teenagers following after God and learning more about Him, as they truly take ownership of their faith. What an honor it is to serve here in the House of God!

My life Scripture is Galatians 2:20 (ESV). “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
