In a world of new age philosophy and vain conceits it's the church's unique calling and purpose to preach the gospel far and wide. At age seventeen, this charge ignited Pastor Iran’s passion for Christ and the church. Respected as a gifted teacher and minister, Pastor Iran transitioned to full time ministry in the year 2000. He has ministered faithfully at Christ Nations Church in various capacities for over 21 years. He’s had the opportunity to travel abroad, ministering in churches, conferences, and prison. His promotion to Senior Pastor has been the culmination of a lifetime of service. In ministering the gospel, it’s his intention to amplify the preeminence of God’s word. His calling is to equip believers with the knowledge and wisdom of God to live mature and victorious lives.

In 1998 while serving as associate pastor of Living Word Church in Adairville, Ky, God spoke to Ken Cowan and said; “My people do not see themselves as I do, and when they come to Me; they come aware of their shortcomings and troubled by their failures. With these things in their lives they do not approach Me confidently. I want you to go into the body of Christ and teach them who they are in Christ and what they have through Christ. I want you to encourage, edify, and exhort My people. In September of 2000 Ken moved into traveling ministry and has traveled throughout the United States teaching God’s people. Ken teaches the principles of God’s Word in a way that is interesting and easily understood with a memorable blend of humor. Ken also has a heart for pastors and understands the issues they face and is a regular speaker in minister’s conferences.
