Purchase Dr. Kurtz' New Book.

My Ministry and The Great Professor - Filled with humor and plain-spoken Christian wisdom, My Ministry and the Great Professor tells of the journey of Dr. John W. Kurtz from tenant farmer to leader of the Southern Baptist movement in Ohio to the quiet ministry and mission work of his retirement.

     Quiet retirement, that is until he gets on stage with his “partner” in mission work, the Great Professor! Since retirement, John has provided Christian entertainment and spiritual messages to thousands as he continues his mission work for youth, adult and senior groups in churches throughout the southeast.  One has only to join him for one of his presentations and witness the laughter and joy that he shares with his audience to know the power of his message of salvation through Jesus Christ.

   Dr. John W. Kurtz, President

302 Woodlawn Dr.
Mt. Juliet, Tennessee 37122
(615) 758-2006

     Our President is "Mr. Pioneer" himself.  He was among the first of Southern Baptist Pastors to go into Ohio, where he was instrumental in starting several mission churches over a twenty-three year period of time.
      Dr. Kurtz pastored the Old Westwood Church in Dayton, Ohio, now called the Far Hills Community Church.  He was the first President of the Ohio Baptist Convention which was formed in 1954.
     From Westwood, a few of the many mission churches that were established were: West Moraine; East Dayton; Fairborn; and the works in Springfield and Lima. John was the founder of Fairview Baptist Church.
     Dr. Kurtz is presently serving as a Volunteer of the Mission Service Corp of the North American Mission Board.  The challenge of Pioneer Missions is to give assistance in the starting of new mission churches and aid in their becoming functioning Southern Baptist Churches; to aid and assist in the recruiting of personnel for Southern Baptist Mission work; and to aid in all phases of the Lord's work. He also aids in the conducting of revivals and also assist missions and churches during interim situations.

                           John & "The Professor"

     Churches and Pastor Groups all over America have called on John and "The Professor" for Revivals, Banquets and Senior Adult Rallies.  Many have been delighted by great comedy by the "unlikely" team but always presenting a spiritual message. After a recent program in a large church, the comments echoes were, "The best laugh "I've had in a long time.  Our folks were delighted, and thoroughly enjoyed the presentation.  Your ending was right on target!"
     For a great evening of inspiration and comedy, or for special banquets, contact Dr. Kurtz in Nashville or send us an email.  The same artist (Mr. Spencer of Minneapolis) that created Edgar Bergen's figures, created "The Prof" after the likeness of Mortimer-Snur.
