Apostle Kirk L. DeVine is a native of Omaha, Nebraska. He accepted Christ at the age of thirteen, and was baptized at the Mount Moriah Missionary Baptist Church. He is an accomplished musician and songwriter who has written and presented material at the National Convention of the Gospel Music Workshop of America (GMWA). He is also an original member of the Midwest Conference of Christian Artists (MCCA), which showcases Gospel Music Songwriters from throughout the Midwest.

In June 1993 while in the United States Air Force stationed in Louisiana, Apostle DeVine accepted the calling upon his life to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and was licensed by the Greater Hope Baptist Church in Shreveport, Louisiana in October 1993. His Air Force career moved him to the "Garden State" of New Jersey, where he served as an Associate Minister and Minister of Music as Word Alive Christian Center in Mt. Holly, New Jersey. In May of 1997, the Lord confirmed that it was time to leave Active Duty Military and return to the Midwest, this time to the “Show-Me-State” of Missouri. Apostle DeVine moved to St. Joseph, Missouri, where upon uniting with The First Baptist Church of Elwood, Kansas, he served there as an Associate Minister and Minister of Music. Apostle DeVine was ordained in September 2000.

With the advent of the new millennium, God affirmed the mandate previously given Apostle DeVine to start a new work for the Kingdom. While working with the Gospel Choir at Missouri Western State University, God began to show him a people who were simply existing, going from day to day, going through the motions but yet living a life of defeat. The Lord then led Apostle DeVine to share the plan of salvation with the group and start a weekly Bible Study, which brought many into the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. After much prayer and fasting, God confirmed the call to start a ministry in the St. Joseph area. With God’s direction, and five dedicated souls, Apostle DeVine founded and organized Abundant Life Christian Fellowship, Incorporated, based on John 10:(7-)10, a ministry designed to serve as an outreach for the hurting, the lost, the unsaved, and unloved by teaching the infallible, uncompromising Word of God while ministering to the believer to promote and maintain Spiritual Growth and Abundant Living.

In June 2004, God directed Apostle DeVine to Trinity Baptist Church which reorganized in January 2005 as Trinity Missionary Full Gospel Church, Incorporated, based on Isaiah 43:18-21. God has called Apostle DeVine and TMFG to serve as an outreach for the hurting, the lost, the unsaved, and unloved while ministering to the believer through biblical teaching and fellowship as we I.M.P.A.C.T. this community, this region, and this nation for the Kingdom of God, that lives might be changed, families be saved, and that people be delivered from the hand of the enemy. Apostle DeVine was elevated and consecrated to the office of Bishop with Apostolic Succession by Apostle Pamela J. Brown in January 2008. He is the Presiding Prelate of New Covenant Fellowship of Apostolic and Ecclesiastical Ministries Incorporated (NCFAEM), based on Hebrews 8:8-13, which serves as a networking fellowship designed to assist in the development, under girding, and the fostering of Apostolic ministries through Ecclesiastical order and structure. To train, develop, ordain, and consecrate leaders according to the doctrine of Apostolic Succession in order to raise up a generation of transformed vessels (Romans 12:2) that they may lead others in the cause of Christ. In October 2010, Apostle DeVine was enthroned and elevated to the office of Apostle in the Lord's Church.

Apostle DeVine is married to Pastor Iris L. Gray, formerly of Wichita, Kansas and they have five children, Treynecia Angeleen, Kyriece Lynette, Kiara JaReese, Larenz Kendrick, and Kaelon MaRhonda.
