Speaker

John King retired in July 2018 as the Senior Pastor at Johnston Chapel Baptist Church in Princeton, WV, the church where he was saved as a child and called to preach as a teen. After completing Bible college and pastoring churches in three other states, he returned to Johnston Chapel, where he ministered for over 26 years. He and his wife Jeanie have been married 53 years, and rejoice in God's gifts of three daughters and seven grandchildren. John and Jeanie have served together in ministry for 52 years, 43 of those in pastorates in North Carolina, Florida, Indiana and West Virginia. John also served for two years as an instructor and Dean of Graduate Studies at Appalachian Bible College, while Jeanie served for 12 years on the ABC staff. Since retirement, he has continued serving the Lord by preaching in Bible Conferences, revival meetings, interim pastorates, and other pulpit supply. He also teaches two classes in the M.A. in Ministry program at ABC. He earned a Th.B. from Piedmont Bible College, an M.Div. in Pastoral Ministries from Grace Theological Seminary, a Th.M. in Systematic Theology from Grace Theological Seminary, and a Doctor of Ministry in Church Management and Leadership from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.
