The Rev. Dr. Richard Kannwischer

The Rev. Dr. Richard Kannwischer is the eighth Senior Pastor of the seven-thousand member Peachtree Presbyterian Church in Atlanta, Georgia. Richard has been a pastor for twenty-five years and has served congregations in Texas, California, and the NYC metropolitan area. He studied business at Trinity University in San Antonio before completing his master’s from Princeton Seminary and his doctorate from Fuller Theological Seminary. Richard has been honored to serve as a member of the board of trustees for all three of his higher educational institutions. He is currently a board of director at the historic Fox Theatre in Atlanta. Richard and Kelly met in graduate school, so they fell in love debating theology and eating ice cream as a reward after an evening in the library. Kelly is the founder of OptUp consulting and is passionate about empowering momentum for organizations and noble causes. They have two adult children. One is a student at the University of Georgia, and the other attends Rich’s alma mater, Trinity University. Richard loves to read, to swim and run, and if you really want a great story, ask him about his hole-in-one in golf.
