About Our Pastor…
Elder Kenneth F. Owens Sr.
"Called into Service"
In Sunset on the Bear Camp a famous writer wrote:
Pastor Kenneth F. Owens, Sr. is the fourth of six children, born in Decatur, Alabama, to Mother Milene Owens and the late Reverend Thomas Owens. He was raised by his wonderful parents and attributes his success to them. They taught him the value of hard-work, how to strive to achieve his goals, and most of all they taught him the value of family and the importance of keeping God first in his life. Pastor Owens strives daily to share these values with everyone he meets.
Pastor Kenneth Owens is a 1982 graduate of East Lawrence High School. He matriculated to Snead State Community College on a basketball scholarship and then to Huntsville Bible Institute. Pastor Kenneth Owens is blessed with two children: Kendra and Kenneth Jr.
The second Sunday of November, 1991, he answered the call “Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.” Straightway he forsook all and followed his “Call to Service”. He preached his first sermon, the 4th Sunday night of November, 1991. He was called to pastor St. Mark Primitive Baptist Church in November of 1994 and was consecrated the 1st Sunday of March, 1995. Pastor Kenneth F. Owens, Sr. has served the St. Mark Primitive Baptist Church proudly for the last 15 years. He also has been employed by International Paper of Courtland, Alabama for 19 years.
Pastor Kenneth F. Owens, Sr. has served as Assistant Dean of the Indian Creek Primitive Baptist Association and currently serves as the Assistant Clerk of the for mentioned association. Pastor Owens is past President of the Baptist Training Union of Mallard Creek Primitive Baptist Association, past deacon, treasure, superintendent of church school, youth advisor, chairman of Deacon Board, youth church school teacher, and trustee of the Bethlehem Primitive Baptist Church of Hillsboro, Alabama.
