Kyle Cordell

Kyle was born into a loving family and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In high school, his family moved down to Houston where he currently lives.

Kyle was born into a loving family and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In high school, his family moved down to Houston where he currently lives. After graduating from Klein high school, America’s Brightest Orange called him home for 4 years to attend Oklahoma State University. Needless to say, OSU sports is something he is always ready to talk about!

Although raised in the Catholic church, Kyle never truly understood the gospel until he attended a camp in Colorado. Once he fully grasped the love of God, he devoted his life to making Him known. While in college, he volunteered for a ministry called Young Life and felt a calling to apply for a staff position after graduating college. His 10 years working for Young Life gave him unforgettable memories, incredible experiences, and lifelong friendships. He also met his wife Jena through Young Life! Desiring a change in his career, he was offered a job in the oil & gas industry and learned a lot for those 9 years. In 2019, God opened a door for him and his family to own two Christian Brothers Automotive franchises in Magnolia, TX and Montgomery, TX. He has been able to minister to his employees and customers on a daily basis, God has blessed him with great success.

Kyle and Jena live a truly blessed (and busy!) life with their 3 boys- Jake (11), Kevin (8), and George (5). Kyle is a family man and loves being a husband and father.

They are members of Houston Northwest Church where they both serve.

Kyle is looking forward to serving on the advisory council of World Hope and can’t wait to see how God will continue to move.
