Raised in a small town in Northeastern Oklahoma, Chaplain Trimble is the middle child of a mid-western dairy farmer who raised his family to love the ministry and work of the Kingdom. Most of his love for nature and common sense comes from the many years on the family farm, working and enjoying creation. Kevin went to college and received a degree from Hillsdale Free Will Baptist College in Moore Oklahoma where he met his wife, Darla. They have enjoyed marriage and ministry together now for over twenty-four years. Their joy has been the raising of two great kids, Nathan and Rachel who have 'emptied' the nest. Nathan has recently graduated with ROTC honors from Vanderbilt College in Nashville, Tennessee, and is in training as a 2nd Lieutenant. Nathan is engaged to be married and will begin his Army Service in Fort Hood.
