OUR PASTOR

KURT LEMKE

Pastor Kurt was born and raised in Loveland and graduated from Loveland High School.  After High School Kurt became a Youth Pastor at a local church, while also becoming a public-school teacher.  After serving over 15 years as a Youth Pastor, Kurt felt God leading him to step out in faith and accept the call to become a Pastor.  He became the Pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in March, 2022, and is excited about what God has already done in this place.  Kurt was saved at eight years old, and having served as Youth Pastor for a lot of years, it’s evident he has a heart for children and youth!  He believes the church is to be a community of believers serving God together, and strives to help each person realize their God-given gift so that they may serve the Lord in the local church. 

He currently lives in Maineville with his wife Cj, whom he married in 2008, and one daughter, Alexa, born in 2013.  He loves all sports, particularly the Reds and Bengals, and oftentimes you’ll hear a reference to our church softball team in one of his sermons!  Kurt wants to invite you to join us on this exciting journey to serve the Lord and see what God is going to do!
 
Isaiah 43:19 says, “ Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it?….”
Come be a part of a church that preaches the Word of God and is a small, but growing community of believers who are thrilled to serve the Lord together!
