Born in Chattanooga, Tenn. on June 2, 1950 to the wonderful parents, Mr. & Mrs. John Henry (Lenora) Walker Sr. The youngest of five children, he was educated in the Chattanooga public school system and graduated from Howard High School. He attended Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Georgia and graduated with a BA Degree in Physiology. He gained employment with the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, MARTA, as a transit operator, and retired after 32 years of service.
He met his wife Lady LaGail and after a short courtship; they were married. Later on in their marriage became the proud parents of Anthony Jarrod Walker, who developed into a gifted drummer. After meeting LaGail, who was instrumental in his salvation and introduction to the way of Holiness, he joined the Move of God Church under the late Pastor Edward Harris. Under the ministry of Pastors Edward and Francis Harris, he rededicated his life to Christ and later received the baptism of the Holy Ghost with the Scriptural evidence of speaking with other tongues as the Spirit gives the utterance.
In 1983, at the age of 33, he was called into the Gospel Ministry and served under the leadership of one of God’s finest pastors, The Rev. Edward Harris his spiritual father and mentor. Being licensed and ordained, he served in all areas of ministry receiving valuable training in Missionary work, outreach, street ministry, sick and shut-in visitation, Prison Ministry, and associate minister.
As his mentor, Rev. Edward Harris has gone on to be with the Lord; The Lord has so graciously joined Bishop Walker to a Father-Son relationship, with Bishop Arvell Garrett and Apostle Philip Imler as his spiritual fathers. The Lord has so graciously joined them in and blessed them to be a dear friend and counselor.
On October 21, 2008 Pastor Walker received a Divine Mandate from the Lord, “To go forth and build Him a Church”. After much prayer, fasting and confirmations, Pastor and Lady LaGail were released from the Move of God Church with the laying on of hands and prayer, on January 4, 2009. On February 3, 2009, Kingdom Of Christ Church Ministries Inc. was birthed into existence by the Lord and we began Tuesday Prayer and Bible Study in their home which was located in Austell, Georgia, as they were guided by the Holy Ghost.
As the church continued to grow the church moved from their home to the Family Life Restoration Center, and from there to its current location in Atlanta GA. In 2014, the church began to expand from one church to a Fellowship of Churches, the Pastors and Elders voted to make him Presiding Bishop and Chief Apostle. He was publicly ordained and consecrated to the Episcopacy on October 8th, 2015.
As we continue to follow the leading of the Holy Ghost and glorify Jesus Christ in our personal lives and in this ministry, we know “That the Best is yet to come!”

The Lord has truly blessed the ministry and KCCM with His presence and His glory. We give God all of the glory for what He has done and continue to do. He has blessed us with many sons and daughters in the Lord, with our God-son Nyjay S. Jones becoming one of the first members of KCCM.
Bishop and I have enjoyed 40 years of marriage from which we have one son, Anthony Jarrod Walker, who is a talented drummer. The many challenges of life and our Victory in Jesus have helped to prepare us for the ministry God has called us to. God is no respecter of person, what He has done for us He will do for others.
