Walker’s Personal & Ministry Background
Brian Walker is a seventh-generation North Texan. Six generations preceded Brian in Ellis County – the rural county south of Dallas where he grew up. Brian graduated from the same small, public school as his parents – where he served as an FFA officer and rode bulls competitively. In 2015, Brian was the youngest person to ever receive the “Distinguished Alumnus Award” from his high school alma mater. With the exception of one master’s degree, Brian received his other three degrees from schools in Texas. His higher-level education is discussed below.
Brian is a passionate preacher of the Gospel. He has been filling the pulpit for decades. Soon after he fully committed his life to Jesus in 1998, Brian was speaking in various ministries and he became a Youth Pastor at a small local church in Seguin, Texas. Brian ultimately served as a Youth Pastor at two different churches through his college years and for a short time after. Since those early college years, Brian has served as a Sunday School teacher, Elder, Church Planter and Pastor. Prior to the COVID-era, Brian worked as a volunteer lead pastor at a local church in Central Texas for right at two years.
