For Ken May, director of missions (DOM) for Montgomery Baptist Association for more than a decade, life as an Alabama Baptist started nearly 60 years ago when he began serving at Royal Ambassadors camps at Shocco Springs Baptist Conference Center in Talladega.
May, who later served as pastor of Evergreen Baptist Church and Southside Baptist Church, Troy, will retire from his DOM role in August.
He earned his bachelor’s degree from Jacksonville State University and a master’s degree from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky.
May also served as a Baptist Campus Minister for 19 years through the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions. He served at Troy University, Auburn University at Montgomery, Alabama State University in Montgomery, the University of Alabama at Huntsville and Alabama A&M in Huntsville.
Not only did he spend several summers serving at Shocco Springs camps, he also met his wife, Helen, there.
The Mays have two children and three grandchildren. In retirement they plan to move to Hendersonville, Tennessee, to be with family. Ken May said he also plans to work more intentionally with the Baptist Student Union Alumni National Network, of which he is chairman.
