SR. PASTOR

First Protestant Church’s  Senior Minister:  

Rev. Dr. Andrew Keuer

Pastor Andrew was born and raised in East Texas, and experienced a call to Christian ministry in late teen years. College and early work drew Andrew to California (BA at The Master’s College) and then Michigan (MDIV at Calvin Theological Seminary), working in public accounting and young professionals ministry. While serving on the pastoral staff at Calvary Church (Grand Rapids, MI), Andrew met and married Lydia, who grew up in Europe where her parents were missionaries and who herself felt called to a life of Christian service from a young age.

The Keuers lived in Scotland for four years as Pastor Andrew completed a PhD in Theological Ethics at the historic King’s College at University of Aberdeen (Scotland, UK),  and in the midst of which the three little Keuers were born.

Pastor Andrew spent almost a decade in college-level and graduate-level theological lecturing and administration – first at institutions in the UK; and second, at the Greek protestant theological college in Athens, Greece where Pastor Andrew served as Professor of Theology & Ethics and Director of two academic programs.  Two little Keuers were born in Athens.

The Keuer family has lived near College Station since late 2020, where Pastor Andrew has served as Minister of Lyons Evangelical Church (an EA church).

The membership of First Protestant unanimously voted in October 2022 to call Rev. Dr. Keuer to become First Protestant’s next Senior Minister, to preach and teach God’s Word, administer the sacraments of baptism and Lord’s Supper, and provide leadership of staff and overall ministry direction to the congregation.

Pastor Andrew values the German theological heritage of his family (Catholic on his mother’s side and Lutheran on his father’s) and the EA churches, and believes that our Evangelical & Reformed roots inspire healthy church life and godly living in God’s kingdom here and now!
