Pastor Cory Ishida was the senior pastor of Evergreen Baptist Church of San Gabriel Valley (Evergreen SGV) for over 40 years before retiring in 2018. He spoke during the eighth session of the AALC Conference. His talk was titled, “The Way of the King.”

In his talk, Pastor Cory focused on the moments that Jesus was King here on earth and how it applies to us today as leaders of His Church. Jesus was a manufacturer of furniture. He was a maker of disciples. He was a miracle worker. But he was also a king. Pastor Cory shared examples of kingship from his 42 years of senior pastoral ministry.
