Chapel 2/25 – Rev. Dr. Bill McGill

The Rev. Dr. Bill McGill is senior pastor of the Imani Baptist Temple in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Called to the ministry while only a junior in high school, he has been in the preaching ministry for nearly half a century. He also serves as the executive pastor of One Church-One Offender, a nationally recognized faith-based alternative sentencing program, is past-president of the Fort Wayne-Allen County Branch of the NAACP and is a member of the Indiana Advisory Committee of the United States Commission on Civil Rights. Dr. McGill had undergraduate studies at Liberty University and is a graduate of the 2001 Summer Leadership Institute of the Harvard School of Divinity. In 1996, the then Aspen College of the Bible & Theological Seminary awarded him the Doctor of Letters. A prolific writer, his editorials appear frequently in the Journal Gazette, and his portrayal of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is widely sought around the nation. No less than Martin Luther King, III has said “he not only repeats the words but catches the essence of my father in a unique and spirited manner.” 

As part of our celebration of Black History Month this week in chapel, please join us at 11:00 a.m. as Rev. McGill preaches from Genesis 9 in his message “Your Haters Curse, Cannot Put God’s Blessing In Reverse!”
