Fred Luter Biography

Fred Luter is one of the most popular and richest Minister who was born on November 11, 1956 in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States.

Fred J. Luter Jr. (born 1956 November 11 in New Orleans) is a former president of the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC). He was elected on 2012 June 19, and he is SBC’s first African-American president. According to Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary president Daniel L. Akin, “. . . the most significant event to happen in our [SBC’s] history since our formation” is Luter’s election.

Luter had begun his ministry in 1977 in New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward after he suffered a motorcycle accident. He has credited his motorcycling misadventure as his “road to Damascus moment”—his analogy to the conversion of Saul of Tarsus. He began as a street preacher at the corner of Caffin and Galvez. During his streetpreaching days Luter observed a need to draw men, particularly fathers, into his evangelistic appeal by urging events which attract male interest, on one occasion, in 1981, hosting a gathering for a pay-per-view televised boxing match between Thomas Hearns and Sugar Ray Leonard. His first sermon in a churchbuilding was in 1983 at New Orleans’ Law Street Missionary Baptist Church. He was a staff minister at the city’s Greater Liberty Baptist Church when he learned of the opening at Franklin Avenue and sought the job.

Luter was the middle child of five siblings and, after his parents divorced, was largely brought up single-handedly by his seamstress mother Viola Luter. In 1980 Fred Luter married Elizabeth W. Luter. The couple has two children: daughter Kimberly Ann “Kim” Luter was born in 1982; son Fred J. “Chip” Luter III, born 1985, is a graduate of Dallas Baptist University and is also a Baptist minister. Elizabeth Luter (born 1956) is involved in LifeWay Women’s Conferences.
