Our Pastor...
Pastor Ken Gourlay
Upon completion of his B.S. in Business Administration at USC, Ken entered Dallas Theological Seminary. Ken states, "In all honesty, I went to Dallas not in response to a 'call to ministry' but because of a desire to learn God's Word." But after comprehensive study of God's Word, Ken concluded that a call was made up of three specific elements; first, a desire ("It is a trustworthy statement, if a man aspires to be an overseer, it is a fine work he desired to do" 1 Timothy 3:1); second, a recognition by others of the giftedness in ministry ; and, finally, an opportunity to be used. After a pastoral internship Ken never doubted what God has called and privileged him to do: Preaching the Word of God. Now having spent over 26 years as a pastor, Ken is continuing to shepherd his flock at Whispering Pines Baptist Chruch and is currently studying for his Doctorate in Education.
