Pastoral Staff
Pastor: James King was raised in a godly, Christian home and when he was 5 years old, he knelt down and asked Jesus to come into his heart and save him from his sins. Several years later while attending a youth camp, Pastor King surrendered to full time Christian service. He went to Heartland Baptist Bible College in 2005 where he met his wife Becky. They were married in August of 2008. Just one year later, Pastor King took the call to be the Youth and Music director at Bible Baptist Church in Selma, IN. After 7 years serving at Bible Baptist, God blessed him by allowing him to become the Youth and Music pastor at his childhood church, Cornerstone Baptist Church in Indianapolis, IN. Pastor King has always had a burden to see young people dedicate their lives to Christ’s service.
Pastor King became the pastor of 2nd Baptist July 4th of 2021. Pastor King loves the church and the community of Festus and has a heart to reach all people with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
