K.B. Murray, 93, went to be with his Lord and Savior on February 23, 2023. Born on the Texas high plains during the Great Depression to a struggling dry-land farmer, K.B. Murray, and his five siblings learned the value of hard work, trust, family, and faithfulness. He met and married Louise while working for American Airlines in Dallas, TX. He was called to preach under the ministry of Ralph Liles at Central Baptist Church in Lewisville, TX.
Enrolling at BBC in 1958, Murray graduated in 1961 and assumed the pastorate at Bible Baptist Church of Stillwater, OK. Four years later, he moved to Bible Baptist Church of Neodesha, KS. In 1967 he moved to Winfield, KS, and for the next 56 years, pastored the Millington Street Baptist Church.
In 1994 he published the book Positive Christian Living. In addition to serving the local church, he served in many leadership roles with the Baptist Bible Fellowship, including Kansas State Chairman, Kansas State Representative, and for many years as the BBFI’s Secretary.

What a legacy. His grandson Jonathan Williams carries it on.
K. B. Murray is a huge part of most of my earliest childhood recollections. He and my dad were close friends as pastors in Kansas from the time I was just a little preacher’s kid. He was a special man with quite a legacy. He loved the Lord and it truly showed through his ministry down through the years. I know he and my dad are now enjoying the fruits of their labor together in glory! Praying for his family. I know he will be missed.
Our loss is heaven gain in the passing of a great friend to missionaries Bro Murray. I remember the many times I drove to Winfield to seek out his advice and fellowship. His legacy lives on in our hearts and through our lives.
Grandpa Murray was a cool one!
He enjoyed us
K.B. Murray preached my ordination service at Manhattan Baptist Temple in 1983. I thank God for the influence on my life of great men like this.
