ABOUT THE PASTOR

Pastor John W. Wilkins, M. Min.

Pastor John W. Wilkins is the son of the late Daniel and Josephine Glenn Wilkins of Wellford, S.C; growing up in the Campobello, Wellford, Holly Springs and Inman areas. He has been serving for 23 years now, as the pastor of Mountain View Missionary Baptist Church.

He is married to the former Ms. Marilyn D. Hawes with three sons; Cartez, Desmond and Jaston.

Pastor Wilkins received and accepted Christ in his life at the early age of 10, soon after joining Mountain View Baptist Church. At this early age, he served as an usher and soon as teacher of the Sunday school youth class. On August 17, 1981, God called him into the gospel ministry and he preached his initial sermon on October 11, 1981 while serving under Rev. J.C. Luster of Simpsonville, S.C at Mountain View Baptist Church.

He then enrolled into the School of Religion to further his knowledge and attended extension courses at Cornerstone Baptist Church, Spartanburg SC, where the Late Rev. B.T. Sears was pastor. He was under the instruction of the Late Rev. Dr. E.C. Crouch, President of the institute. While attending the School of Religion, he was elected as pastor of Mountain View Baptist Church. In 1986, he was ordained by the Council of Churches of the North Enoree Association, Rev. J. E. Young was Presiding Moderator. He was installed as pastor in January 1987.

He is the past President of the I.M.A. of Greer & Vicinity; and past Moderator of the North Enoree Union of Churches of Greenville & Spartanburg County. Currently, he is the 2nd Vice President of the North Enoree Baptist Association, and 2nd Vice President of the North Enoree Sunday School Congress.

Although listed, nothing about all these alcolades that have been established are so much more important than his just being born again, a child of God, a Christian, a servant, a warrior for Christ, and a messenger for the Most High God.

And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry. 1Timothy 1:12
