Local

pastor, columnist to receive graduate degree

The Rev. W. David

Epps, rector of Christ the King Charismatic Episcopal

Church in Peachtree City and a regular columnist for The

Citizen newspapers for more than three years, will

receive the Master of Arts in Biblical Literature from

the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary during

commencement exercises in April.

Epps will

graduate with a 3.7 GPA from the seminary which holds

accreditation with the Association of Theological

Schools. The program of study was designed for pastors in

the field and is a research-based degree. Although the

seminary is located in Springfield, Mo., Epps took most

of his courses at the AGTS extension at Southeastern

College in Lakeland, Fla. He also attended classes in

Phoenixville, Pa., as well as in Springfield.

Father Epps

is the founding pastor of Christ the King Church which,

in less than four years, has grown from 19 people to more

than 150 who claim the church as their home. The

congregation currently meets in the chapel of

Carmichael-Hemperley Funeral Home, but recently purchased

11.5 acres of land on Ga. Hwy. 34 in Coweta County.
