Rev. Bernice A. King, a nationally renowned orator, has inspired thousands from all walks of life. At age 17, she spoke in her mother's stead to the United Nations on Apartheid, realizing her oratorical gift. The youngest child of Mrs. Coretta Scott King and the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Bernice King is remembered by most as the five year old in the Pulitzer Prize winning photograph taken of her as she lay in her mother's lap during her father's funeral. As a child, she dreamed of becoming both a lawyer and a politician, but God had yet another road for her to travel. It was at age 17 that she first heard "His call," but it wasn't until eight years later, on March 27, 1988, that she formally accepted "the call" by preaching her trial sermon at Ebenezer Baptist Church. She was ordained two years later in May of 1990.

	She holds a B.A. degree in psychology from Spelman College and on the morning of her Ordination, she was not only awarded a Master of Divinity degree, but also a Doctorate of Law Degree from Emory University. Rev. King has also been honored with a Doctor of Divinity degree from Wesley College. Rev. King's first book of sermons and speeches entitled Hard Questions, Heart Answers is available at all bookstores. As cited by Ebony Magazine, she is truly "one of the 50 leaders of tomorrow."
