OUR PASTOR

​​We recognize, esteem, and seek to model the servant-example of our Lord Jesus Christ. Even our Savior did not come into the world to be served, but to serve others. The leadership of our church, as well as the leaders of our various church ministries, are servants of the body. They have been called and gifted by God to serve the body of Christ in their respective roles. ​Please reach out to any of them as you desire.

Paul A. Burton

Pastor

​​​I was born and raised in Edinburgh and I am so grateful that the Lord Jesus has called me to minister here.  I graduated from Edinburgh High School in 1998 and served in the U.S. Army Reserve for eight years until 2005.  I met and married my wife Tracy in 2002 and we moved to Corydon, Indiana while I attended college.  Tracy and I moved to Greenwood in 2004, where I practiced at Singleton Community Mortuary for nearly a decade.  I have been the pastor of Christ Fellowship Church since 2010, however, we have only served in a full-time capacity since the summer of 2015 when we moved back to Edinburgh. We have two daughters, Reagan and Ellie.  Reagan is schooled at home and Ellie attends East Side Elementary School.

I am what I am by the grace of the Lord Jesus.  My greatest desire in life is to see God glorified in my personal walk with Him, in my home, in our church, and in our community at-large.  I dream of a robust local church where Christ is exalted and His people are edified and built up in the most holy faith.  I love the sheep God has placed in my care and I pray for the repentance and conversion of the lost in our town and the greater surrounding area.  When I think of the ministry God has given to me, I am constantly thoughtful of the words of the Apostle Paul, “Who is sufficient for these things?”

Please reach out to me if I can serve you in any way.  You can reach me at pastorp@cfcedinburgh.com or by telephone at 812-703-5084.

In our Lord’s Service,
​Paul
