Keaton Eckhoff

Director of Next Generation Ministries

Keaton is passionate about helping children, youth, and families discover a lifelong relationship with Jesus Christ. His ministry combines authentic worship, meaningful discipleship, creative programming, and intentional community to cultivate faith across every stage of life.

A lifelong musician and educator, Keaton leads worship for the Sycamore's Modern Service and brings years of experience in music education, theater, and live performance to his ministry. He believes that creativity is one of God's greatest gifts and strives to use music, storytelling, and the arts to make the Gospel engaging, accessible, and transformative for people of all ages.

As Director of Next Generation Ministries, Keaton oversees children's ministry, youth ministry, family programming, and intergenerational faith formation. His vision is to build a community where every child is known, every teenager belongs, every family is supported, and every generation grows together in faith. Through dynamic worship, engaging Bible teaching, outreach events, and genuine relationships, he seeks to create spaces where the next generation can encounter God's love and discover their unique calling.

Beyond the church, Keaton is a professional performer, multi-instrumentalist, composer, and teaching artist. He has appeared nationally and internationally with Broadway productions, including Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story and The Sound of Music, and continues to perform throughout the Cincinnati region. Whether leading worship, directing family ministries, teaching private music lessons, or performing on stage, his heart remains the same: to inspire, encourage, and point others toward Christ.
