DR. RANDALL KINNISON

Hello, I’m Dr. Randall Kinnison, aka Doctor Peace. I grew up in northeast Colorado and accepted Christ as my Savior shortly before high school graduation. I began my formal education at the University of Colorado with a pre-med major. God called to ministry during that first year at CU. Sharlyne and I were married, and we moved to Sioux Falls, SD to complete my undergraduate and graduate training. Upon graduation from seminary in 1981, we moved to Ellinwood, KS for the next seven years to begin ministry. Then, we moved to Portland, OR in 1988 following a call from a church. Along the way we had 5 children, 6 grandchildren, and over 24 foster children. While in Portland, I graduated with a Doctor of Ministry with classes from Kansas State University in Family Systems and Therapy as well.
