Ollie Kinser

October 13, 1944 — June 3, 2025

Ollie Lynn Kinser, age 80, died on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at his residence in Liberal, Kansas.

He was born on Friday, October 13, 1944, the second child of Lloyd and Violet (Wiles) Kinser in Laverne, Oklahoma.

Ollie started school in the first grade at age 5. He attended eleven different schools in twelve years as his parents made several moves for work’s sake during that time. He graduated from Balko High School in Balko, Oklahoma in 1962 at the age of 17. He attended Oklahoma Panhandle State University in Goodwell, Oklahoma for part if one semester.

In the fall of 1963 Ollie attended Apostolic Faith Bible School in Baxter Springs, Kansas. At the conclusion of the four month term of school he was ordained to the ministry. Over the next two years he was involved in ministry in revivals, vacation Bible schools, youth camps, and youth ministries. He attended a second term at Apostolic Faith Bible School in 1964.

It was during these terms at AFBS that he met and fell in love with the beautiful lady that would become his wife, Anna Margaret Scroggs. They were married on March 6, 1965, at Union Church in Spearman, Texas.

They began pastoral duties in September 1965 in Sugarland, Texas. Over the years Ollie and Anna pastored churches in Sunray, Texas; Enid, Oklahoma; Shattuck, Oklahoma; Joplin, Missouri; Baxter Springs, Kansas where he served as superintendent of Apostolic Faith Bible College Arnett; Oklahoma; Hardesty, Oklahoma; Canyon, Texas; and Liberal, Kansas. After pastoring Trinity Faith Church in Liberal for three years, they began Ollie L. Kinser Ministries and launched a new work in Liberal calling the church THE LATTER HOUSE WORSHIP CENTER. After a few years the name was changed to ABUNDANT LIFE FELLOWSHIP, INC.

Ollie’s life has been consumed with the study and teaching of the Word of God. Those studies netted him a Doctor of Divinity degree in 1984 and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1987.
