Disney Star and teen entertainer, Kevin Gerard Quinn is an American actor and singer, best known for his role in Disney Channel original series “Bunk’d” and subsequent roles in Disney’s “Babysitting” and Netflix movie “A Week Away” in 2021. He has also been featured in other movie series and seasonal movies.
Kevin was born in 1997 in Chicago, U.S., and joined the American entertainment industry in 2013. Before starring in “Bunk’d” in 2015, Kevin had played a role in episodes of “Shameless” and “Chicago P.D.” He auditioned for “American Idol 12” and emerged as one of the top 60 males in the country.
Quinn was raised with his twin sister by his parents, Brian and Tamara Quinn in Wilmette, Illinois, and got involved in some musical productions at a theater company near his hometown, “The Children’s Theatre of Winnetka.”
At 25, Quinn has already been featured in several episodes, series, and films and has also released a couple of songs as a music artist. Quinn’s role as Will in “A Week Away” and his reactions after the movie as well as the release of his song “Wildfire” has raised eyebrows on the actor’s religious status. This article will provide answers that will clear your doubts about Quinn’s stance as a Christian.
Is Kevin Quinn Religious?
The word “religious” describes the belief in a supernatural being and a personal/public expression of that belief. A religious person is devoted to his/her religion and is conscious of every detail in the practice of such religion.
In Christianity, the term “religious” has been used seven times in the Holy Bible. James 1:26 highlights one characteristic of a religious person to be someone who can control the tongue. According to the passage, “If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.”
Sometimes people wrongly label someone as “religious” if that person meets the outward and materialistic requirement of their faith, but we believe it’s far beyond that. A religious person should fulfill the requirements of his faith personally and publicly without faking, and this should be evident in his lifestyle.
The actor has made comments about his faith and these speak volumes of his religious stance. In a recent interview with Movieguide, he revealed that faith has been the most important part of his life. In his words: “Faith is a very important part of my life if not the most important part of my life. But it wasn’t always that way and there was a struggle, really, in my early 20s, where I had kind of shunned the idea of faith.”
In 2021, Quinn told Kate Marine of the Netline that his role in “A Week Away,” a faith-based movie rekindled his faith in Christianity. According to the movie star:
“A Week Away brought back some of the things that were important in my life and made me realize just how important faith was in my life. So A Week Away not only was a catalyst for Will, it was a catalyst for me, as Kevin Quinn, to be reintroduced to my faith.”
Does Kevin Quinn believe in God?
On various occasions, Kevin has expressed his belief in God and how God has been with him and led him to light even at the time he lost faith. In an interview with The Christian Post after the release of his Christian song “Wildfire,” he disclosed that he was lost until he decided to follow God’s plan. In his words:
“At a certain point, in my late teens, early 20s, it got so bad for me that I kind of just shunned the idea of God altogether,” Quinn said. “Because I was like if God does exist, and God loves me, then why is He making my world a living Hell? It felt that way, and I’m sorry if that’s like a graphic depiction of what I was going through but felt that way.”
While still speaking, he revealed: “Then there were a few events that happened, I guess you could say, according to God’s plan that lifted me out of that darkness. I started to see the light again and find enjoyment and just peace in my life and resolution with some of the things that I was dealing with. The more I settled into that, the more I got to know God, and the more I realized He was always trying to help me. It’s just that some things have to happen for a reason.”
Kevin Quinn also disclosed in the interview that experiences he had while growing up strengthened his relationship with God. He revealed that he believes in God and tries to get closer to him as days go by. In his words:
“I talk to Him every day. I’m constantly praying and it’s just interesting seeing the juxtaposition of that in my life, from not even four years ago when I didn’t even care to talk to God. Now four years later, it’s like, “He’s one of my strongest relationships.”
When asked about “holding on to hope when in despair” in the interview, he stated: “I think the reason why I still even have hope is because I have trust. I trust my relationship with God, and I trust Him. A relationship doesn’t work without trust and respect, right? So that alone, my trust is in the greater well-being and the greater good. The greater plan is enough for me to continue hoping.
In March 2020, Kevin Quin uploaded a picture of himself and simply captioned it “Following God’s plan.”
Is Kevin Quinn a Christian?
There have been several reports that Kevin Quinn is a Christian. The artist and actor has even admitted to being a Christian and has shared messages of faith with his fans, urging them to trust in God and the love of Jesus Christ. He uses his songs to inspire millions of listeners and tell them about Jesus Christ.
In a 2021 interview with The Christian Post, on the release of his debut Christian single, “Wildfire” Quinn said: “What a blessing that I can even make music about Jesus according to God’s plan.”
In the interview, Quinn also revealed that he grew up in the church and was a prayerful child but at some point, he lost faith in God and the church due to the challenges he faced. He revealed that some things occurred later that took him out of the darkness and back to his faith and he trusted God more.
Quinn has also been identified as a Christian artist signed with Capitol CMG label. He revealed that his songs are meant to uplift, inspire and bring hope to the Christian community. He also disclosed that he loves Jesus and feels blessed to make a song about him.
In 2021, Quinn told The Netline that his role in “A Week Away” revived his faith in Christianity after he chose to go to the Christian summer camp instead of the juvenile detention in the movie. He also told Christian Headline that starring in the faith-based movie strengthened his beliefs in Christianity and he hopes people learn from the movie to embrace their faith without fear and shame.
In 2022, Kevin Quinn dropped a new single “More of You,” which he described as a worship song. Below are some lines from the song:
“Any time I think I might have figured You out
I find a new shade of beautiful that I knew nothing about
Any time I feel You couldn’t get any closer
We go even deeper than we were before
The more I, more I, I see
The more I, the more I need more of You, more of You
I need more of You”
Is Kevin Quinn Baptized?

What did Kevin Quinn say about Jesus?
Kevin Quinn has not been ashamed to talk about his faith in Christianity. He has used his songs and movie roles to encourage people to get closer to God and their faith.

Here are some lines from the song:
“There’s a wildfire in my heart
And it’s brightest in the dark
You’re the one that made it start
Your Love, it burns like a light
There’s a wildfire in my heart
And it’s brightest in thе dark
You’re the one that made it start
Your Love gets me through the night
When my trust in the world
Is fading
When there’s nowhere to turn to
You save me
Know there’s pleasure in the pain
Like dancing in the rain
Doesn’t matter what happens
I keep fighting”
