About Britt Kitchen

Britt is the Middle School Creative Director of North Point Ministries. That might sound like he just worries about planning flour bomb wars and dodgeball games, but he also has to design t-shirts! He gets excited about developing programming and curriculum for campuses that range from 20 students per service, to over 800 per service. With more than ten years on the student staff at North Point Ministries, Britt still loves finding new ways to help students find a faith of their own. He's married to Natalie, and together they chase around their three preschoolers until they both pass out laughing about how great their life is.
