Keon Abner grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. Exposed to the gospel at an early age, Keon surrendered his life to Jesus when he was 9 years old. From salvation on, Keon knew God called him to serve the local church. He met his wife Ashley while he was in high school and they became close friends. Their freshman year of college they served a local church’s youth ministry together and the rest is history. They were married in 2016 and now are proud parents of their daughters Kailyn (4) and Ashtyn (1). Keon and Ashley bring over 10 years of ministry experience.⁠

Pastor Keon serves as the Lead Pastor of Bridge City Church, a new church in the Clark-Fulton Neighborhood that opened its doors in September of 2021. This church was born out of a passion to see people of all ethnicities, genders and ages experience the life-changing power of the gospel of Jesus Christ. ⁠
