With over 30 years of previous pastoral care experience, Burt joined Friendship Village in 2017. He is an ordained minister through Open Bible Churches where he has served as a District Director while pastoring his own congregation. Before moving to the St. Louis area, Burt worked with numerous denominations and churches as president of his local association of churches.
For Burt, the best part of about ministry is helping people find vibrancy and meaning in their relationship with Christ.
He is married and a proud parent to three grown children. He loves spending time connecting with people and hearing their stories. He has a passion for reading, playing the guitar, studying history, and taking part in miniature war-gaming.
Burt completed his undergraduate studies at Oral Roberts University and pursued his graduate work through Regent University. He currently serves on the national board of Open Bible Churches and is a contributing author to We Believe: Core Truths for Christian Living, Open Bible’s official church resource for teaching core foundations of the faith.
