Pastor Walter August, Jr.
Born fifth of nine children to a single mother, Walter August, Jr. rose from poverty to public influence. Upon completing high school in 1977, he enlisted in the United States Marine Corp where he faithfully served through 1983. In 1994, Pastor August organized and founded Bethel Family Baptist Church along with his wife, three sons, and six committed adults. Today, Bethel’s Family serves over 3,500 families, through 50 different ministries, with an annual church budget of over 3.5 million dollars.
August attended Southwestern Theological Seminary in Houston and received Honorary Doctorates of Divinity from Saint Thomas Christian College in Jacksonville, Florida and Encourager Bible College & Seminary in India. Pastor August has traveled to Kenya and Czech Republic, doing evangelism training, setting up medical clinics, and developing church leadership teams.
Pastor August is a founder of Bethels Heavenly Hands (serving over 8,000 people per month in the Southwest Houston community). About life, August says, "Some can make it about money, but it’s really about your life. If you sow your life, then everything else will go along with it. God gave His life that we might live. It has to be about something greater than you."
