The Bishop David T. McKinley is the 8th son and 9th child born to Bishop R.A. and Lady

wanted to serve God for the rest of his life. He accepted the call to preach at the young age of 7
years old under the tutelage of his father, Bishop R.A. McKinley of the New Pilgrim Baptist
Church of Los Angeles, CA. After 10+ years of studying, preaching, and teaching the word of
God and with much prayer and supplication under Bishop R.A. McKinley, Bishop David T.
McKinley felt led by the Lord to pack up and move his ministry to California City where he
Pastored the Solid Rock Missionary Baptist Church and served for 10+ years.

and Kingdom of God.
