Senior Pastor

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.
