Keynote Speaker: Rev. Brian Coulter

Worship Leader: Rev. Josh Kerr

Rev. Josh Kerr is the Ministry Relations Officer for the South Central region, encompassing Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas. He came to work for the Presbyterian Foundation in February 2024 after serving as a pastor for 10 years in two churches in Oklahoma.

Josh grew up in Tulsa, OK, and attended Yale Avenue Presbyterian Church. During his childhood and young adulthood, Josh saw Yale Avenue transition from a larger congregation with lots of programming to a much smaller family-oriented church. These experiences gave him an appreciation for smaller church ministry and a zeal for church innovation and growth. He served as a summer camp counselor for Dwight Mission, where he developed his leadership skills and first heard the call to pastoral ministry.

“This call to serve as a ministry relations officer is a different type of service, but one I embrace because I believe so strongly in the witness of local churches,” Josh says. “It is a great joy to travel to congregations, mid-councils, ministries, and gatherings in the Presbyterian church to meet so many people who are so passionate about serving Christ and making the world a better place.”

Josh holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Rogers State University, Claremore, OK, and a Master of Divinity from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary.

Chaplain: Rev. Shane Webb

Shane is a kilt-wearing, beer-loving, pastor at Woodhaven Presbyterian Church. He is a Houston native   (go Astros!) and previously served a church in East Texas (Mount Pleasant) before coming to Irving.     Shane and his wife, Sarah, served in Lima, Peru as missionaries with the Young Adult Volunteer   program. Shane is also a Spanish-speaking, salsa-dancing, soccer-playing, empanada-eating enthusiast   of Latin American culture. He is the proud father of a son, a daughter, a cat, a dog, and usually an exchange student.

Bible Study Leader: Rev. Dr. Bob Crilley

Bob is the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of Grapevine, Texas, where he has served since May of 1993.  He and his wife, Judy, who is a chaplain at Parkland Hospital in Dallas, have three adult daughters, who live around the world—literally—one in Chicago, one in Copenhagen, and one in Seoul.  Bob enjoys listening to the Beatles, reading John Updike, and watching Laurel and Hardy movies.  He is a graduate of University of Michigan, Princeton Theological Seminary, McCormick Theological Seminary, and was recently awarded an honorary doctorate from Austin College.

2025 Men’s Council:

President: Steve Flynn

Steve Flynn, AKA Flynn-Man, is in his 5th year of “an epic failed retirement!”  After 33 years with General Motors, Steve decided to turn the page to the next chapter in his life – and that is when the fun really began.  These days Steve finds himself busier than ever with church activities (Session Elder/Finance Ministry), finishing his Master’s Degree at Southern Methodist University in Dispute Resolution, and getting elected to Town Council.  In his spare time, he began his mediation practice called Flynn-Man Dispute Resolution Services, LLC, and has completed over 250 mediations.  Steve and his wife Teryl enjoy golf and travel and look forward to “seeing the world” – time permitting of course!  He loves Mo-Ranch and serving on the Men’s Council as Secretary and continuing his faith journey.

Vice President: Bill Harrison

Bill is a widowed, 80+ year-old 3-time cancer survivor with atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and an implanted pacemaker, who still enjoys an exciting and rewarding life of challenge, adventure, and accomplishment because of what he has learned about who he is and why he is here; i.e., what his purpose in life is. His current purpose is to empower others to enjoy this kind of life by helping them learn more about who they truly are and what their purpose is in life and encouraging them to pursue that purpose until it is accomplished.  He looks forward every year to attending the Mo Ranch Men’s Conference for the fellowship and the learning and worshipping opportunities amidst the beauty of God’s creation.

Secretary: Clarence Greer

Clarence is a flight instructor and pilot currently working for Flight Safety International as a Classroom and Simulator instructor. He’s Dad to 3 children and Grandfather to 6.

His interests are flying, motorcycling, gardening, fishing and watching his grandchildren compete in sports and Cheerleading competitions.

Randy is an IT professional in the Dallas/Fort Worth Area.  He started coming to the Men’s Conference in 2016 looking to enhance his faith.   He is at the ranch every opportunity he gets.  He is a Sound Practitioner (Sound Bowls) and enjoys a good meditation.  He enjoys scuba diving, traveling, and reading.  He can usually be found at the Labyrinth, Chapel on the Hill, or at the river when he is at Mo.  Of course, his drone and his camera are not too far away.
