Reverend Barbara Wilson was born in Loudoun County. She grew up on a farm outside of Purcellville. She was the seventh of eleven children born to Ollie and Mary Craig King. She attended Second Mount Olive Baptist Church in Hamilton, Virginia, and she accepted Christ at early age and was baptized by Rev. Isham Williams.

She received her calling to the Ministry under the Pastorship of James and Jean Flanagan at Nothing Impossible Fellowship in Reston, VA. She united with First Mount Olive Baptist of Church of Leesburg in the fall of 2001. She became a licensed minister on December 22, 2001 under the leadership of Rev. Harold Stinger.

Rev. Wilson is a mother of three and the grandmother of three. After working with the federal government for 38 years, she is now retired from a civilian position as a secretary for the Department of Defense.
