Pastor Ken Butler, Sr. is a 2000 graduate of Maranatha Baptist Bible College in Watertown, Wisconsin. Pastor Butler was saved as a young boy of the age of 7 in Angels Camp, California. He and his wife, Jeri were married in 1976 and have two sons and 7 grandchildren.
God led Pastor Butler and Jeri back to California to start a fundamental, independent Baptist church in a city which had none. This led them to the growing city of Los Banos in California's San Joaquin valley.
