Olivet Baptist Church Lawton

J.W. “Billy” Bowen has served as music minister at Olivet Baptist since April 2008. Billy accepted Jesus and his Lord and Savior in 1960 and was called to the music ministry in 1969. He began teaching Sunday School in 1975 and was ordained as deacon in 1986. In 1993, he became a member of The Singing Churchmen of Oklahoma. Billy was called into the Gospel Ministry and was licensed to preach in February of 2006.

Billy has been on mission trips to Mexico, Hong Kong and China, and Australia. In Beijing, the “Singing Men of Oklahoma” shared the stage with the Beijing Men’s Choir and, in Australia, they were blessed with the opportunity to sing in the Sydney Opera House.

It is evident that Billy truly has a heart for God as his goal is to keep himself and his ministry centered in God’s will and to follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
