Apostolic Bible Church - Meet the Pastors

Senior Pastors, David and Karen Murphy

In 1974 I married my sweetheart, Karen Sue Nixon. Our ministry started in our home church in Baton Rouge, La. Pastored by Rev. Curtis Young. We actively worked in Sunday School and also with the Youth. In 1979 we began our first Pastorate in Cajun country, in the town of Donaldsonville, LA. With ten years of experience in bayou country, we once again answered the call to pastor the Apostolic Bible Church in Niles, OH, where we continue our part in the Lords work. Over the past nineteen years I have had the opportunity to minister in the Leeward Islands and also in Pakistan. We have three children whom are all married and attend the Apostolic Bible Church. We have also been blessed with six beautiful grandchildren.
