Pastor to Seniors
Ken Callison
God blessed me with a solid Christian home. My family was faithful in church attendance and I was able to watch my family members actively serve the Lord. I was influenced greatly by their faithfulness.
I attended Western Baptist Bible College, where I majored in Bible and Christian Education and minored in Music. After I graduated college, I entered the ministry as a Youth Pastor. My wife, Penny, and I have served the Lord for over 50 years in various ministries in California, and Washington.
We started attending Wilton Bible Church in April 2008. We have been thoroughly blessed serving at Wilton Bible Church these past 18 years. Our ministry to the Seniors at Wilton is very satisfying and enjoyable. They are a blessing to minister to.

HISTORY OF THE WILTON BIBLE CHURCH
Prior to 1932, there was no church or pastor in Wilton. Services were held at rare occasions by traveling evangelists in the Alta Mesa and Wilton Town Halls. In 1932, William Graves and his brother, Arthur Graves, both from Vallejo, held a series of 2 week meetings in the Wilton Town Hall. Seeing the need for a church in the community, they planted the seed from which grew and flourished the Central Community Bible Church, which later became Wilton Bible Church.
