BRETT KIRKLAND

C12 Chair since 2018

Territory Served

Brett brings a wide range of experience to his C12 Chair role. Early in his career, he served as an accountant in the public and private sectors and held positions in sales and marketing. He then had the opportunity to move into executive leadership, which included serving as the President & CEO of a $9 million organization. After a merger, God moved Brett into full-time vocational ministry, where he served in local missions with Sherwood Baptist Church, creators of the movies Fireproof and Courageous. While serving in this role, Brett also became a chaplain with Marketplace Chaplains. That’s when his passion for business excellence and his heart for ministry collided. He would go on to join Marketplace Chaplains in a division director role for over six years, where he was afforded the opportunity to be a part of a C12 group. Now, God has called Brett to chair his own groups where he can invest time and energy into equipping other Christian business leaders to steward their lives and businesses well. Brett holds an undergraduate (B.S. in Accounting & Business Administration) and graduate (M.S. in Management) degrees from Troy University. Since 2000, he has developed a passion for leadership, organizational development and health, employee engagement and culture development, strategic planning, and more. Brett is also a certified biblical counselor through the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors. Brett lives with his wife, Carol, in Fleming Island, FL and they have two adult daughters. Brett and Carol worship at the Church of Eleven22 where they lead a home disciple group together, and where Brett serves on the care team.
