Our Pastor

Pastor Jeremy Kerstetter

Thank you for visiting Central’s website, I hope you will feel just as welcome to visit our services.  I grew up in Juniata County and have always had a desire to return to Central PA to minister.  I was 12 when God called me into the ministry and have committed my life to sharing the good news of Jesus with everyone.  My personal mission statement is to professionally develop others to succeed in life and ministry. 

I married Wendy in 2001 and we have been blessed with 2 children, a daughter Kara and a son Adley.  Wendy and I met while working at a children’s camp in East Waterford, PA.  In 2003, I returned to Lynchburg, VA to go to Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary where I graduated with a Masters in Divinity.  Then God led us to Mecklenburg Baptist Temple in southern VA to work as a Discipleship Pastor.  In 2010 God started preparing my heart to take a Sr. Pastor role and brought our family to Central Baptist.
