Leonard Kent

I was born in Brady, TX, but grew up on a farm and ranch near Eldorado, TX in Schleicher County.

I earned a science degree from Texas A&M University and served in the Army as a biochemist. I also received a Masters Degree in biology and taught advanced high school classes for several years. The next 30 years were spent serving public schools in the capacity of an administrator; eleven years as high school principal, and nineteen years as a superintendent.

I married my wife, Myra, in 1972. We have two children, Katherine Carter and James Kent, as well as two grandsons, Cash Carter and John Kent. We moved to Tyler in 2005, established a rental business and became members of the Shiloh Road family. I have served other church families as a deacon and an elder. I have been an elder at Shiloh since 2009.

Please know that I am here for you and your family in any way I can help. I look forward to getting to know you better and walking alongside you in faith.
