Pastors Philip & Kelly Pimlott

Philip grew up in Norwich, England, in a family of pastors. From an early age, he felt a calling to follow in the footsteps of his dad, uncles and grandfather and preach the Gospel. In 1991, he moved to Baton Rouge to attend Jimmy Swaggart Bible College.  After graduation, he served with Jimmy Swaggart Ministries for several years before planting a church in 2003, now known as Encounter Church.
