A Methodist Family’s Foundation and Future Part 2 featuring Rev. Kyland Dobbins
February 27, 2023
The Wesleyan faith tradition called Methodist has been an important spiritual foundation of families in the Central Texas Conference for generations. The Dobbins family can trace their Methodist family tree back to the abolitionist movement of the 1800s but is still hard at work laying the foundations of The United Methodist Church of tomorrow. While his family undoubtedly played a powerful role in cementing his spiritual foundations, Rev. Kyland Dobbins was also led and guided by other “ancestors*” in the faith from outside his family tree.
In part two of this three-part series, Kyland, who is currently Burleson United Methodist Church’s senior pastor, discusses the early foundations of his faith, the role a pickup basketball game played in helping him finally answer the call to ministry and those who helped blaze the trail and ignite his passion for cross-cultural ministry. He also shares why he believes it is so important to be authentic to who God has created and called you to be, because “authenticity invites the anointing.”
