MPCS Alumni

Taylor Kinsey '09 has served on the Alumni Leadership Council since 2015, including serving as president from 2017-2019. She is married to Michael Kinsey, and they have one child, Michael Lee Kinsey III, born in March of 2019.

Taylor attended Lee University, graduating in 2012 with a Bachelor of Arts in Communication, with an emphasis in Advertising. She also earned a minor in Public Relations and Bible. She and Michael are the proud owners of Reverent Wild Ranch in Chickamauga, Ga., and she is also a realtor with Better Homes and Gardens (Jackson Realty).

She and Michael attend Oakwood Baptist Church in Chickamauga. Taylor recommends the reading of two books: Present over Perfect by Shauna Niequist and Everybody Always by Bob Goff. Her favorite scripture chapter is Romans 12.

Taylor sees the alumni program growing the executive committee, hosting more events, and broadening connections with alumni and current students. She says, ”I hope the foundations laid in the past five years by the committee members will just be the start of what is to come for the alumni association.”

Reflecting on her days attending MPCS, she says, “MPCS was so vital in every part of my life. Not only did I feel that my education was a step above the rest, but having Christ intertwined in every single moment of my education set a foundation that would continue long after leaving MPCS. The teachers and staff not only teach what servant leadership is, but [also] are active examples of how to live a Christ-centered life. The combination of faith and learning produces students who are ready to represent our Savior in their homes, future campuses, and careers.”

What surprised her - and might surprise other alumni - is the direction her life took after graduation. “I recently moved my family from bustling Marietta to rural Chickamauga to become an organic cattle rancher. It was something I never planned or expected. It’s amazing how God places small wants and desires in one’s heart and lets them develop into reality! God is so good, and His plans are always bigger and better.”

Brittany Varville '11 earned her undergraduate degree at Lee University, graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration, while also earning minors in Administration Management and Religion.

She is married to Michael and has a stepdaughter,  Haley, and a stepson, Lucas. Together, she and Michael have one child, Braylee. Brittany is the Senior Events Manager at JLL. She and her family attend Northstar Church. 

Brittany attended MPCS grades K-12 and serves as co-chair of the Events Planning Committee of the Alumni Leadership Council. Brittany’s life-scripture passage is Ephesians 2:8-10. 

Regarding the future of the alumni program, Brittany says, "I would like to see the MPCS alumni program grow in number and through the strength of relationships. I would like to see more alumni come back to their roots and to grow together as a family. Students graduate, and they get busy with college, jobs, their families, and just everyday life. This is a great way to have those relationships flourish and to stay connected with those who have a common foundation of faith. This also provides the opportunity for fellowship, as well as mentorship. I want to be used in a greater way to help others come together.  Brittany states that "MPCS affected my life on many levels, including my foundation in Christ, my relationship with others, and my education, which led to my career. This is more than just a school; it is a place many call home. Mount Paran continues to lead in the community for not only their incredible academics and faith, but also in their service to others. To have been molded and formed by this school is an understatement. They go above and beyond to serve those in all aspects of life. It is a true blessing and honor to call MPCS my alma mater!"
