Pastor Eddie Killian grew up in Ringgold, Georgia. As a third-grade boy at Fellowship Baptist Church, he accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Savior. During his teenage years, he began attending Temple Baptist Church in Chattanooga, Tennessee under the ministry of T. D. Burgess. Here, he actively served in the youth department and soon surrendered to the call of God to preach. The November following his graduation from Ringgold High School, he and Jill Brock were married.

At Temple Baptist, Pastor Killian began to serve as assistant pastor. During his four-year tenure as assistant pastor, he and his wife had their first child, Jeremy. In 1979, God called Pastor Killian to Galilean Baptist Church in Tampa, Florida. While serving in this ministry, Jill gave birth to their second child, April. In the following years, he pastored Mashulaville Baptist Church in Mississippi, where he and his wife had their third child, Mitchell, and Moses Road Baptist Church in Hixson, Tennessee.

In 1989, God brought Pastor Killian to Bethel Baptist Church in Riverview, Florida. During his ministry here, God blessed the church in a great way. In 1992, the Lord allowed him, along with three other pastors, to establish Hillsborough Baptist School, where he was president of the school board for several years. After nine years of a God-blessed ministry in Florida, the Holy Spirit led Pastor Killian and his family to Boonville, North Carolina and New Hope Baptist Church, where he remained until the end of 2002.

Pastor Killian took Linwood Baptist Church the first Sunday of January 2003. Here he anticipates God moving in a great way through the lives of the people of Linwood Baptist Church. The Lord has opened a great and effectual door here in La Fayette, Georgia and God willing many people will be reached and many lives will be changed through the outreach of this church.
