FOUNDER & PRESIDENT

Michael Kendrick

Investor. Ministry builder. Author.

Michael’s career began in aerospace engineering and grew to include investment banking, private equity, venture capital, and operating leadership. He founded Kendrick Capital Management and has been involved in building businesses, Christian ministries, and educational initiatives.

His work includes founding leadership at iDisciple and long-standing relationships with organizations serving churches, students, families, and communities. Through Providence Christian Foundation, that experience is connected to Christian giving and service.

His writing explores the questions that run through this work: purpose, faithful stewardship, eternal hope, and the implications of emerging technology. Battle of the Seed continues that exploration.

For Providence Christian Foundation, he sources ministry opportunities, conducts mission and financial due diligence, cultivates relationships, and manages the full grant cycle. His work connects financial diligence with the family’s Christian values and the purpose each ministry serves.
