Dr. Brian Burdette

Head Pastor

Dr. Brian Burdette, Senior Pastor at Central Baptist Church since 2013.

Brother Brian, as his church body calls him, was a tennis coach at Auburn, Benjamin Russell High School, Central Alabama Community College, and Florida State University before God called him into the ministry. He initially served as a Student Pastor for eight years at First Baptist Church of Mount Olive. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Education from Auburn University in 1995, a Master in Mathematics Education from Auburn University in 1999, and a Doctor of Ministry from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in 2020.

Pastor Brian has been married to his wife Kelli since 1997, and they have been blessed with four sons.

Whether serving the church body, leading his family, coaching a local little league baseball team, serving the community, or on a mission trip, Brother Brian's love for the LORD is evident.
