Reverend Kenny Levi Tran
Founder
The Reverend Tran is an ordained esoteric interfaith priest with the Christian Esoteric Theological Seminary.
He was born in Vietnam in 1988 in the Year of the Dragon as the great-grandson of The Venerable Dat Tran, a monk who founded Linh Son Pagoda in Go Cong City, in the Mekong Delta. Kenny Levi Tran, born Kha Trong Tran, knew religion early on as his father volunteered as a janitor at Long Tho Temple in Thu Dau Mot City, Vietnam so he was raised, in part, by Buddhist monks.
In 1993, Reverend Tran moved to America as a young child of 5 years old. In America he attended temple worship often and spent summers at Buddhist retreats with his family. As a Buddhist, he helped set up Midway City Buddhist Church after his father agreed to allow the monks he knew to convert his suburban home into a Buddhist temple. Later on he would found Great Sage University and register 4 new members into the Buddhist monkhood as disciples under him. He has been approved by the CaoDai Center at CaoDai.org to teach CaoDaism, a faith native to Vietnam, online as well.
It was in 2012 that Reverend Tran had a life changing experience and converted to Christian Omnism and began attending church worship at multiple churches in Orange County, California.
In 2018, he got into the esoteric and began learning Kabbalah, Enochian, Christian Science, Wiccanism, Spiritism, Occultism, Demonology, Chinese folk religion, Star Seeds, Paranormal Studies, etc… Eventually he got ordained as a priest and founded Kingdom Summoner Church Inc., a tax-exempt organization in the State of California.
Kingdom Summoner Church today works with many different ministries including NPG, a UFO religion with a 21 member congregation which we support administratively. In his work with the church, Reverend Tran has received an honorary doctorate in humanities from GraceLife Church.
All in all, Reverend Kenny Levi Tran is truly interfaith.
