Leadership

Pastors & Staff

Kyle Curry

Lead Pastor

Kyle Curry is the Lead Pastor of Legacy Church in Murfreesboro. Born and raised in Southern California, Kyle began walking seriously with the Lord in September 2007 and quickly sensed a call to serve wherever needed. Over the years, he has served as a youth and young adults pastor as well as an operations pastor for over a decade. He has always carried a deep passion for seeing people discipled, grounded in God’s Word, and growing in spiritual maturity.

In 2018, the Lord placed church planting on his heart. After a season of prayer and preparation, Kyle and his family moved to Murfreesboro in early 2020 to follow that calling. Today, he is grateful to shepherd Legacy Church in this new season, building on what God has done and looking ahead with expectancy for what He will continue to do. Kyle and his wife, Sarah—his high school sweetheart—have been married since 2007 and have three children: Bella, Lynlee, and Judah. He enjoys sports (especially football), good coffee, watching The Office, and most of all, pointing people to Jesus.
