Wally and Norma Higgins
Dr. Wallace W. Higgins, better known as Wally, and his wife, Norma, serve as church planters in Salt Lake City, Utah. Witnessing to a Mormon community comes with many unique challenges. Wally has been involved in church planting in the western states for most of his life.
A native of Kansas, Pastor Higgins spent 1 year (1949-1950) at Moody Bible Institute, and then he spent 1 1/2 years at Kansas City Bible College. After Kansas City, he attended Bob Jones University where he received his Bachelor of Arts in Bible/History. Pastor Higgins received a Bachelor of Divinity from Covenant Theological Seminary in 1965 and his Master of Divinity in 1972. It was in May of 1965 that Pastor Higgins traveled out west to start his first church in Pinedale, Wyoming.
He and several other men were instrumental in starting Northwest Baptist Missions where Pastor Higgins served as director of the mission. He currently is involved with the mission as founder and representative. In 1995, Pastor Higgins earned his Doctorate of Ministry from International Baptist College.
Other accolades include honorary doctorates from Wyoming Bible College and Bob Jones University. Pastor Higgins' schedule is filled with speaking engagements, mission conferences, and church planting. Pastor Higgins is a history buff who loves baseball and basketball, and is an avid Kansas Jayhawks fan. Pastor Higgins and his wife Norma have two children and five grandchildren.
