- Little is known about Kilpatrick’s early educational endeavors. We do know that he went to Arnold Junior High School.
- Feeling that John needed discipline in his life, the pastor of his local church R.C. Wetzel approached his mother, asking her permission to take John to the church. It was here at the age of 14 that John experienced the love of God and what the church could offer.
- Pastor R.C. Wetzel helped Kilpatrick learn the Bible and imparted wisdom on how to teach it to others. John was also educated in scriptures and then had to teach them to those younger than him.

John Kilpatrick Sermons, Work & Books :
- Kilpatrick’s first job was working at the water plant in Columbus, Georgia, when he was eighteen. Two years later, in 1971, he received his first pastoral job. He took over as pastor at a small church down in Vidalia, Georgia.
- In 1973, he moved to Warner Robins, Georgia, where he pastored another small church. When he began, the church there had 175 members; when he left, there were 300. His next move was to Evansville, Indiana. There he led the Calvary Temple Assembly of God. While there, Kilpatrick began to learn the ins and outs of televangelism.
- In 1982, Pastor Kilpatrick moved again, this time to Pensacola, Florida. His mentor, Wetzel, lived there and had told him about a church in need of a pastor. After the move, he took up the position of pastor at the Brownville Pentecostal Church. He fell in love with the church right away. The church grew exponentially during his time there, but that was not enough for Kilpatrick.
- In 1993, Pastor John had decided that his Brownville Pentecostal Church lacked something, something he couldn’t quantify. Though he didn’t know what exactly they were missing, he thought that a good old-fashioned revival was the key. The church began to pray for revival that year. They prayed fervently for two years, and finally, in 1995, their prayers were answered.
- Father’s Day 1995 was the beginning. A guest speaker, Steve Hill, had come and was preaching at the pulpit. Pastor Kilpatrick felt the Holy Spirit during that sermon. Members of the church were so enthused and excited, feeling the Holy Spirit come upon them. Hill stayed with the church for several months, with members staying as long as possible for each sermon. Word spread around the country quickly, and Pastor John, with Hill and his assistant pastor’s help, set up four revival services per week. Millions came to hear the ‘Word.’ The revival lasted eight years; at least four million people came through the doors and experienced the revival for themselves.
- In 1996, John Kilpatrick Ministries was formed, and Pastor John began to travel nationwide, encouraging pastors and congregations alike to pray for revival. In 2005, Kilpatrick settled down in Daphne, Alabama. He said that the Lord reached out to him, asking him to found a church in Mobile, Alabama. He listened and obeyed. The church started off by meeting at the Daphne Civic Center, but the church has grown since then. The church joined with GodTV sometime later, and now Kilpatrick’s preaching can be seen there, as well as through various podcasts and other streaming services.
- You can continue to hear Pastor John preach on various online streaming channels, podcasts, and God TV. He is also a successful author, having written many books & you can also follow Pastor John on Facebook and Twitter.
Interesting Facts and Trivia :
- The Brownsville Church has missionaries working in upwards of 122 countries.
- John has recently had a bilateral knee replacement.
- In 2018, Kilpatrick got himself into some hot water when he asked his church to pray for former President Trump, claiming that he was being affected by witchcraft. He claims that witchcraft has infected America.
- While traveling around the United States, John uses his own motor coach as he values his privacy.
- On the day of the revival, Pastor John did not want to go to his church. He was suffering from depression following the passing of his mother five weeks earlier. He had nursed her through the last few months of her life. It was only the fact that he had to present a ‘Father of the Year’ award that made him go.

I love watching you. On Saturdays & Sundays. We live in Texas. I watch you on God TV. I really like your preaching. God Bless you.
Good morning Pastor Kirkpatrick,
I have been watching your preaching every Sunday for about a year now. Your messages are always what is needed to be said at this or that moment! Holy Spirit speaking through Pastor Kilpatrick…you can feel the Lord Jesus Christ’s presence! I am a Pastor myself and we need such Fathers in the Gospel who are full of integrity and Holy Ghost filled like you.
We really enjoy Pastor John Kilpatrick here in North Ireland. We love to hear him on Sunday at 5:30 pm.
I just got home from our service at Shiloh. I was blessed too to be at Tucson last night too. I attended Mesa and Shiloh last Fall. I attended the Revival for 4 years as my friends and I could. God opened a door for a job transfer in 1999. My daughter wanted to go to the School of Ministry. She graduated in 2000 from high school and then attended the School of Ministry, however, graduated from FIRE in 2002. We’re all praying God will do it again. Thanks for coming to this area. Hope you are back again. Jeanie Pate
I listened to you today on the Jim Baker show and was impressed. The more I listened the more the Holy Spirit entered into me. I am a student of the Bible since 1985 and it is so pregnant it never stops growing. These scriptures just jump out to me and send me all through the Bible. God has truly filled me with so much of His Word, I know when someone is not totally filled with the Bible correctly. I listen to it daily on the little Red Bible you buy and have bought another one I wore it out.
Just a few things I will bring out what you said: Rapture
If Elect is the Church, What do you do with Rev. 2:10 Matt. 24:19 Elect delivered up for 10 days, which is during the Anti-Christ Reign? That will speak in the Pentecostal Tongue and deliver the True Gospel to the World at that time. Tribulation has been cut to 5 months for the Elect’s sake or no flesh would be saved. Mk. 13:11.
The False Prophet arrives after the Anti-Christ (Satan) is here. Rev. 13:11.
The Serpent in the garden; Gen. 3:15 How can you have children without sex. Because of that sin read Gen. 3; (to man, blood, sweat and tears all of their days) (and to the woman, birth pains) Please re-read this. You mention the Giants but not the Serpent, called Satan the Devil, also the Dragon, you said he was in the garden but not the true sin he commented with Eve.
I would love to talk with you and discuss these things, We could really learn from each other. God Bless. I have documents on all subjects in the Bible over many many years. I would love to put them in a book but have no idea how to start. I cannot believe this and neither my husband, This is not me but the Holy Spirit working through me. I know this will be hard to believe, but it is true. Thank you Father in the name of Jesus Christ.
Pastor, I’m so happy and blessed with your ministries. I just today found you online. Come to ATLANTA to see us. Why were you out for 4 weeks? God bless you.
Pastor Kilpatrick,
I am Leslie Ann Primm. I was so very honored to be on the Prayer Team at Brownsville Assembly of God in the 1980s. This authentic visit of Jehovah just totally changed my life. I’m in Nashville right now but I am moving back to Daphne in April. I hope to visit your Church.
Thank you Pastor Kilpatrick for all you and Brenda have given to America.
In His Mercy,
Leslie Ann Primm
