Allen Baston, Executive Director / Principal Musician


Allen has served as Kingswood Church’s organist for over 25 years. Sixteen years ago, he joined the staff full-time as Office Manager, and over time—with the addition of more than six different roles—he has grown into his current position as Executive Director and Principal Musician. In short, Allen does just about everything at Kingswood except preach and teach.


A proud Georgia native, Allen is also the father of a son who continues to make him proud. Outside of his work at Kingswood, he stays busy in the music community—serving as Production Coordinator and Principal Accompanist for a regional choral group, and directing his own summer choral ensemble.
