To reach people for Jesus, develop them to Christ-like maturity and connect them into service all for the Glory of God.
James Walker

He is a graduate of Palm Beach Atlantic College in West Palm Beach, FL, and then went on to graduate from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth,TX. He received a Doctorate of Divinity from Palm Beach Atlantic University in 2004.

Upon completion of Seminary he served for three years as Youth and College Minister at Shandon Baptist Church in Columbia, SC, then as Senior Pastor for 4 years of Azalea City Baptist Church in Valdosta, GA. In 1993 he came to serve as the Pastor of Biltmore Baptist Church, where he is experiencing what he describes to be “the most exciting and fulfilling days of my life.”
About Church
Biltmore Baptist Church celebrated its Centennial in 1989. George Vanderbilt played a large role in appropriating the property for our church, originally known as Fern Hill Baptist Church and established as a mission of First Baptist Church - Asheville. The original building, a one-room church with a bell on top, was located near the Swannanoa River and the railroad depot on Buncombe Turnpike (Hendersonville Road). Vanderbilt planned a larger building at a new location to accommodate 350 persons, with a schoolroom and two vestries, which was dedicated in November, 1893, according to the notes of the first pastor Daniel Buryman Nelson. Once again, Vanderbilt had played a part in the history of this church. The new building, erected on Summit Street, continues to be a house of worship today (currently the home of Asheville Full Gospel Tabernacle). On July 2, 1913, the name of the church was officially changed to Biltmore Baptist.
