It all began when the Lord called Reverend RS King and his family to Louisiana in 1952 to minister to the people. He founded what would become First Assembly of God Church (now known as First Assembly of Youngsville), the first Pentecostal church in Acadiana. This early church began in the Kings' home on Brookside Drive and expanded to tent meetings on the corner of Arthur and Irene Streets where the original First Assembly of God church was constructed. Believing in the importance of prayer, Pastor King started a daily prayer meeting at 6:00 am that continues in the city today. Great miracles have been recorded and lives changed from those meetings. They helped countless people and showed them the transforming power of Christ. The growing church moved to 605 S. College Rd in 1960 where he founded Assembly Christian School, developing it into a K-12 School. Pastor King co-founded and served on the Board of Directors of 232-HELP, the Daily Advertiser Milk Fund, The Lafayette Chamber of Commerce, and the Lafayette Ministerial Association. He was also a recipient of the Bishop's Award given by the Diocese of Lafayette. He was instrumental in starting numerous Assembly of God churches around Louisiana, serving as Presbyter over several of these churches. He had a heart to help the lost and hurting in the Acadiana area. Pastor King was loved by so many people and reached many souls for Christ during his six decades of ministry. Pastor King was always there to lend a helping hand to families in need by giving them food, transportation, encouragement, or spiritual advice at any time during the day or night. Pastor King's philosophy was to love people to Christ's salvation. He extended that message of hope and love to people throughout Acadiana in his daily morning broadcast on KAJN radio, which he helped to found. One ministry that was dear to his heart was visiting the sick in hospitals, including the five major healthcare facilities in Lafayette, which he continued into his eighties. Pastor King retired in 1994.
