Ken Horton

I was blessed to grow up in a Christian home in Andalusia, Alabama where I heard the Gospel clearly and saw the reality of walking with Jesus in my parents’ lives. In this context I became aware of my sinfulness as an eight year old and trusted in Christ alone for my salvation in April 1960.

Though I was involved in spiritual activities as a teenager, I did not grasp the significance of depending on the Spirit’s power until I attended a conference shortly after graduating from high school. That pivotal understanding helped make my years at Auburn University a time of growth and ministry (along with loads of fun). My three years as a Space Surveillance Officer in the Air Force stretched my faith as I learned about authentic ministry and personal loneliness, especially while serving in Eastern Turkey. During that year God confirmed that I should pursue pastoral ministry as a vocation.

In the decades since that decision God has provided excellent academic training, a delightful partner in Kathy, the blessings of two young adult children (and their wonderful spouses and four grandchildren) and over forty years of fruitful ministry with outstanding people, the last thirty-five here in Fort Worth.
