Leadership

Reverend Kemper Huber

When people reach my age, recording one’s faith journey is more like a 4-volume book set than a single page! The following is a very brief synopsis of my faith journey.

I was raised in the Presbyterian church, baptized, confirmed, married, ordained as Elder and Deacon, and eventually ordained as a Minister of Word and Sacrament. I kind of sound like Paul describing how devote of a Jew he was! Church was central to my childhood, and this continued through high school and college. I had the feeling, even in high school, that God was pulling me in a certain direction. But I was not, apparently, ready for the next step.

God used the 25 years I spent in our family business (agriculture), to temper me and prepare me for my calling into Interim ministry. When I finally answered my call and went to Seminary, I went feeling that my calling was into transitional ministry. And after graduation, this is all I have done.

I have served 9 churches as an Intentional Interim/Transitional minister. My wife, Janet, and I have been blessed to see different parts of the US (and the world) during this whirlwind adventure. Every church was unique, and I grew in my faith with each one of them. I met and worked with many amazing people that inspired and encouraged me. In all our moves, God’s hand has been evident. While we may have had some trepidation surrounding some of our moves, we have been lifted up by, not only God, but by the church families we have served.

My faith journey continues, and I pray will continue no matter what I am doing in my life. We are all called to love God and to love and care for each other. May God continue to bless me with the opportunity to do so.
