Meet Ken Wallace

Loading player...

Ken Wallace originally planned to become a sports writer when he attended Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia where he grew up. As he was trying to figure out where his faith was in life, he made an adult commitment to Christ at the end of his freshman year. Through this commitment he gradually began to feel the call to ministry, and would end up preaching his first sermon at the age of 21 after being asked to do so by his preacher at the time. He joins Denna Hornby to share the story of his calling, and how it has led him to becoming the pastor of Sparta First United Methodist Church.
