Rabbi Ken grew up in a Jewish home in the suburbs of Philadelphia, the son of college professors, coming to know Yeshua while still in high school.

Following a call to ministry while attending university, Ken graduated Bible College & Seminary, going on to host a cable television show in New York City, lead teams to Israel, Cyprus, and Europe, and serve as chaplain on board a mission ship in the Caribbean. During this time he planted congregations in New York and Pennsylvania. Establishing a Messianic congregation and daily drive-time radio program in Nashville, Tennessee, Ken met and married his beautiful wife Frances, a Sephardic Jew from Lima, Peru, and now retired Spanish professor from Vanderbilt University. Later working with Russian Jews in both Philadelphia and Israel (where they hold dual citizenship), and planting a congregation in Southeast Florida, the Alprens returned to Nashville to found Kol Dodi.
