Dr. Burge with his wife Kimberly, surrounded by their children and grandchildren.
Dr. Ken Burge Sr. has faithfully served as the Senior Pastor of Colmar Manor Bible Church for an impressive tenure of over 30 years. His dedication to ministry is underscored by his extensive educational background and commitment to equipping his local congregation though Bible study and discipleship. He also uses his time and resources to train international laymen and pastors through the Ken J Burge Sr. Foundation. His theologically rich sermons and the podcast, “The Father & Son Pastoral Podcast,” have led to over 9,500 subscribers on Colmar Manor Bible Church’s video page. Dr. Burge’s steadfast focus aligns perfectly with CMBC’s mission statement: “Finding the Lost and Training the Found for God’s Glory.”
In addition to his ministry and scholarly pursuits, Pastor Burge is a family man. He accepted Christ at the age of 16, married Kimberly Hall five years later, and they have been blessed with three sons and seven grandchildren. Kimberly actively contributes to the church as its secretary and leads the ladies’ Bible study.
Born in Pottsville, Pennsylvania, Dr. Burge’s journey led him to Prince George’s County when his family moved to Maryland, and his father became a policeman in DC. At the age of 16, he was saved through the ministry of the church he now pastors. Through a series of events, he was called to the ministry and attended Washington Bible College. His educational achievements include a Bachelor of Arts degree from WBC, earned with Summa Cum Laude honors in 1995. During his time there, he demonstrated remarkable Biblical knowledge, receiving the highest score on the AABC Bible Exam and becoming a member of Delta Epsilon Chi.
Pastor Burge continued his academic pursuits, graduating with a Master of Arts degree, Magna Cum Laude, from Capital Bible Seminary in 1998. He further deepened his theological training with a Master of Divinity degree, Summa Cum Laude, from the same institution in 2002. His dedication to preaching excellence was recognized with the Hanshew Preaching Award during this time.
In 2006, Pastor Burge achieved his Doctorate of Ministry from Dallas Theological Seminary, solidifying his status as Dr. Ken Burge. His doctoral dissertation, titled “Developments and Evaluation of a Sermon Preparation and Delivery Class for Laymen,” exemplified his passion for effective preaching.
Pastor Burge’s love for preaching bore fruit in his writings. He authored the F.I.R.E. Bible Commentary Series, which includes titles such as “Preaching with F.I.R.E.’s E.T.A.,” “Ephesians on F.I.R.E.,” “1 John on F.I.R.E.,” “Revelation on F.I.R.E.” (a two-volume set), “Philemon, Jude, 2 John, and 3 John on F.I.R.E.,” “Devotions on F.I.R.E.,” “Devotions on F.I.R.E. Year Two,” “1 and 2 Thessalonians on F.I.R.E.,” and “Galatians on F.I.R.E.” Two of his books have been translated into Spanish: “Caminemos con la Palabra: Una jornada a través de la Biblia en 365 días” and “Los maravillosos atributos de Dios.”
Furthermore, Pastor Burge’s impact extends beyond his congregation as he serves as the president of the Ken J Burge Sr. Foundation. This organization is committed to equipping disadvantaged pastors, missionaries, and teachers worldwide by providing essential resources to help them accurately teach the Word of God. These resources, including his own authored works, serve as a conduit for imparting biblically sound doctrine to those in need.
Pastor Burge’s remarkable journey from his childhood in Queenstown, MD, to his current role as a respected theologian, author, and pastor reflects a life devoted to the study and dissemination of the Word of God. His unwavering commitment to training others with biblical wisdom is a testament to his enduring legacy.

While pursuing his education, Pastor Kenny Jr. transferred to Liberty University, opting for online courses to continue his service at CMBC.

New Sermon: Blessedness – Attribute of God Series
This sermon explores God’s blessedness and our responsibilities as recipients of His blessings. It begins by highlighting that God is eternally blessed, even when humanity suppresses the truth about Him, as described in Romans 1:18-25. Since believers are blessed by the eternally blessed God, they should faithfully serve the Lord, spread His love and goodness to their neighbors, and grow in grace. The sermon concludes with a call to bless both God and people, drawing inspiration from Psalm 113 and Jesus’ teachings on loving even our enemies. It underscores the significance of maintaining consistency in blessing both God and fellow human beings as a reflection of God’s eternally blessed nature.

NEW Podcast from our pastors! Podcast #21 – The Sermon on The Mount (The Beatitudes, Salt & Light)
How does Jesus paint the portrait of your identity? What 9 traits does He want you to display? What guidelines does He provide for living a Christian life? When Jesus likens you to ‘a city on a hill’ or ‘the salt of the earth,’ what layers of significance do these comparisons hold? Does Jesus define the Kingdom of Heaven as physical or spiritual realm (or maybe both?)
Join Pastor Ken Burge Sr. & Pastor Kenny Burge Jr. as they answer these questions from Jesus’ sermon on the Mount. This is Podcast #21 of the “Jesus Said That” series – titled, “The Sermon on The Mount (The Beatitudes, Salt & Light)” from Matthew 5:1-16.
