Wright attended the University of Houston, the Houston Preachers Educational School, and the Preston Road School of Preaching in Dallas, Texas. He received his Master of Theology degree from Bethel Theological Seminary in Pensacola, Florida.
Initially, Wright wanted to work in the entertainment industry. During his early years he formed a band and composed several popular songs. But, there was always a desire to do something more meaningful.
At that time he was instrumental in establishing the Southeastern Georgia School of Biblical Studies in Waycross, Georgia.
In 2005 Ken became the driving force behind establishing the In Light of the Word television program which is viewed throughout southern Louisiana. This program has been the springboard to other outreach ministries such as a worldwide outreach via the internet.
To date the program has received responses from over twenty-six countries throughout the world.
