Since 1972, Jackie Kay has been evangelizing to lost souls, exhorting them to accept Christ and encouraging others deeper in their faith. And his upcoming retirement April 1, 2018, won’t change that.
“My passion is (still) to serve our Lord, faithfully preach the Word, reach precious souls and encourage and bless churches, pastors and church staff and leadership,” said Kay, who has served as pastor of Central Park Baptist Church, Decatur, since 2009.
Prior to Central Park Baptist, Kay was a full-time evangelist for 14 years. During that time he preached approximately 500 revivals.
Kay has served churches in Alabama, Texas, Mississippi and Tennessee during his 45-year ministry. In Alabama, he has served at Bethany Baptist Church, Town Creek, and Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, Lexington.
Kay has served as president of the Tennessee Baptist Convention Pastors Conference and has served on the board of trustees for the Tennessee Baptist Children’s Homes, twice as chairman.
He holds degrees from the University of North Alabama in Florence; Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas; and New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.
He and his wife, Libby, plan to remain in the Decatur area and as members of Central Park. The couple has three children and nine grandchildren. To contact Kay for revivals, pulpit supply, conferences and/or interim pastorates, email jkay1986@aol.com. (Maggie Walsh)
