Meg Whitman

One of the world’s
most respected
business leaders Meg
earned a reputation.

Bishop Rudolph W. McKissick, Jr., is Senior
Pastor of Bethel Baptist Institutional Church,
located in Jacksonville, Florida. He returned
to Bethel in 1995 as Assistant Pastor and has
been Senior Pastor of the Bethel Church
since the year 2000, sharing in that role with
his father, Dr. Rudolph W. McKissick, Sr.

Since his return to Bethel in 1995, over 9,000
thousand souls have been added to the
ministry, bringing the active discipleship to
over 12,000.McKissick is uniquely gifted at
blending styles of worship from the very
contemporary and urban down to the
traditional without sacrificing one for the
other.

It has resulted in a church that is built
around a unique diversity of persons from
various age groups and cultures who all
gather together in celebrative worship.

McKissick serves as a professor at United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio in the capacity of doctoral
mentor, where students have been selected as McKissick Academic Fellows, sitting under his academic
mentorship as they work towards their earned Doctor of Ministry degree.

In June of 2008, he was consecrated and elevated into the high office of Bishop in the Lord's church within
the Full Gospel Baptist Fellowship International, under the leadership of Bishop Paul S. Morton, Sr. and serves
as the Bishop of the state of Florida for the Fellowship.

He holds a Bachelor's Degree from Jacksonville University with a double major in the field of music: one in
Opera and the other in Sacred Church Music, with a minor in pipe organ performance. He holds the Master
of Divinity Degree from the Samuel Proctor School of Religion at Virginia Union University, and the Doctor of
Ministry Degree from the United Theological Seminary. Dr. McKissick was awarded the honorary Doctor of
Divinity Degree from Bethune Cookman College. He is also a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., as
well as Sigma Pi Phi Boule.

He is married to the former Kimberly Joy Nichols and they are the proud parents of three beautiful children;
Jocelyn, Janai and Joshua.

The musical blessing and vision of Bishop McKissick, Jr., has resulted in the
production of three Word and Worship CDs that have received both local and
national critical acclaim, with the project entitled, "The Right Place" debuting at
No.5 on the Billboard charts. In addition to his musical talents, first and foremost,
he is a powerful messenger of God who has established himself nationally as an
outstanding preacher and teacher, with a gift and passion for the teaching of
homiletics.

He has been noted in The African American Pulpit as one of the "Twenty to
Watch" and has had sermons published in several books and publications.

Bishop McKissick's first book entitled, "Nuggets by Day and Gems by Night" was
released in April 2009. His second book "God's Got My Back: Insights I learned
From Spinal Surgery" was released in August of this year.
