Senior Pastors
Pastors Rod and Kay Kincaid pioneered Echoes of Calvary Church in 1994. EOC began in their home. They renovated a gymnasium and met there for many years in Anderson, California. In 2021, they moved to Claremore, Oklahoma, where Echoes of Calvary church is now located.
Years ago the Lord put in the heart of Pastor Rod that he was to preach with the purpose of revealing the Lord Jesus, and he has remained steady in this cause. Many ministries today are shifting the focus onto the cultural significance of Jesus, or only the proverbial qualities of what He said. Pastor Rod, in contrast, has determined to reveal Jesus not as a cultural icon, but as the Lord Almighty, Everlasting Father, and the God of Glory.
The apostolic heart of Pastor Rod can be seen clearly in the young ministers who have been, and are being, developed under his ministry.
Great Parents make great Pastors and this is certainly true of Pastor Rod and Kay. Always steady, unchanged by circumstances, in everything looking to Jesus as the function and format of their home. This has been how they have led in the church.
There are always challenges to our faith, times of testing, in which we can see the makeup of the inward man. This was the case in early January, 2012. Kay had been suffering for several months with what was thought to be back pain. She had lost mobility in the left side of her body, and finally went to the Doctor for what was thought to be a simple in-and-out operation on her upper back. As the family sat in the ER, waiting for her admittance into the hospital for the simple back procedure the next day, devastating news was delivered. “Kay has a massive brain tumor” said the ER Doctor. When he walked out of the room with no further information, it was as if a bomb had been dropped. The family was blindsided by a totally unexpected report, but their faith was proven strong and steadfast. Pastor Rod leaned over Kay and prayed “Jesus we have always trusted and lived for you, and we will keep living for you.” It is exactly this type unfazed and deliberate faith that has drawn the admiration and respect of the church body. The good report is that Kay is 100% recovered through the mighty hand of God.
One of the blessings of years of serving the Lord is that their Children, their children’s spouses, and their grandchildren are active and invested in the work of the church body. Their son Rodney Kincaid and his wife Carrie serve as the Associate Pastors. Their daughter Heather and her husband, Austen Phillips, work as the Outreach Directors, Young Adult, and Bonfire Pastors. Their daughter Holleigh and her husband Chad Engel have recently moved to Claremore to be close to the family. The future heritage lies in their grandchildren, 5 of which are boys; Rodney, Parker, Presten, Jaxon and Hudson. They also have 4 granddaughters; Rylei, Kayten, Raegan and Ellie. Since moving to Claremore, they have gained two more granddaughters, Erin and Dara, and a grandson, Shane.
Kincaid Family

Carrie played an instrumental part in establishing a home-school study group which met at the church in California 4 days a week for prayer, devotion and education. Rodney works in the same mindset as his father. Whether in preaching or as Worship Director his vision is to see Jesus glorified and exalted to His rightful role.
