Rt Rev Dr P K Samuel was born and brought up in Kolar Gold Fields, Karnataka, South India. Had his primary education in St Fathima School in Marikuppam, and went on to complete his high school in St Marys’ High School, Andersonpet, KGF, Karnataka.
Finished his degree from the First Grade College , Oorgaum KGF during 1976. Finished his theological studies from Union Biblical Seminary, Yavatmal, Maharashtra, India during 1981.
Rt Rev Dr P K Samuel’s academic training in college and in seminary provided him the basis for his Christian ministry. However it was his daily involvement with common people from diverse castes, classes, and sometimes even creeds, that moulded him as a servant of God and a channel for peace in a world of strife and discontent.
Experiences over the last 37 years as an ordained minister have convinced Rev. Samuel of people’s yearning to be nurtured in the discipline and the working of the spirit and equipped him to be an effective ‘messenger’ even as he commits himself to this process. He served as a Pastor in Abu Dhabi for four years on deputation from the Church of South India.
