Our Staff

Campbellsville Baptist Church is blessed with a talented, dedicated staff called to the full time ministry.

Skip Alexander began as pastor of Campbellsville Baptist Church in August of 2002. He holds a Bachelor of Arts from Georgetown College, a Master of Divinity from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a Doctor of Ministry from Beeson Divinity School at Samford University. A visionary pastor committed to growing a church through hands-on ministry Skip brings messages that speak to the heart and challenges the hearer to Christian action. Skip enjoys other areas of ministry outside of pastoring to include revival and conference speaking for both pastors and marriage enrichment. “These events are rewarding and a welcome challenge, but it is the weekly joyful obligation to serve as a pastor and preacher that fills my heart,” say Skip. The only greater love than his calling as a pastor is his family. Skip is married to the former Leigh Anne Winters and they have two lovely daughters, Meredith and Caroline.
