Kenneth W. Hagin Jr. is not just the son of the late "father of the Faith Movement," Kenneth E. Hagin. He is a pastor, teacher, and organizational leader who has successfully transitioned a spiritual dynasty into the 21st century. While his father was the revolutionary pioneer, Hagin Jr. is the architect of sustainability—growing Rhema Bible Training College into a global institution and pastoring one of the largest Word-Faith churches in the U.S. (Rhema Bible Church, Broken Arrow, OK).
