Minister Kimberly McGuire
In 1994, she graduated with honors from Bay Shore High School. From there, she went on to Suffolk Community College, where she majored in Early Childhood Education. After graduating in 1997, she decided to take some time off. It was then that she started her family, which has grown into 5 children (4 boys and 1 girl). The year 2002 was one of the most memorable of all in her life. In that year, she obtained her Bachelor’s Degree in Organizational Management from Nyack College. Most importantly, she accepted her call into the preaching ministry and in June of that year, she was licensed at the Antioch Baptist Church by Rev. Marvin Bentley to preach the gospel. Her life has never been the same since. Children have always played an important role in her life. Since high school, she has tutored and mentored children of all ages and stages of development. Because of this love and devotion, she and her husband started Kadium’s After School in June 2004. Housed at Antioch, the program is geared toward children who need a safe place to go after school. While there, they receive homework help, nutritious snacks, 1-on-1 private tutoring, piano lessons and recreational activities. She has been significant in shaping the lives of children throughout Long Island and New York City. Some of her academic accolades include:
Currently, Kim is a pre-school teacher at A Child’s Place Day School. She attends Antioch Baptist Church, where she serves on the ministerial staff and the music department. She resides in Brentwood, NY, with her husband, Steve, and their children—SaVon, Narkim, DiAndre, Darius, and Nia. |

Kim
has always had a love for 3 things: God, family, and education.
As a young child, she always strived to be the best at everything
she did. As a straight A student throughout her educational career,
she understood the importance of being the best, especially because
she was a Black female.
