Meet Our Staff...
Dr. Keith Gillming
Senior Pastor
Pastor Keith was instrumental in establishing Lighthouse Baptist Church (formerly known as Dorsett Road Baptist Church) in October of 1982.
On March 21, 1961, Pastor Keith accepted Jesus as Lord of his life in a little church that was started in a garage by his father. During his early teens he felt the Lord calling him to surrender his life to service in ministry.
After graduating from Detroit Baptist Theological Seminary in 1982, Pastor Keith and Becky moved to St. Louis and began their ministry here. He has continued his education at Covenant Theological Seminary and received his Doctor of Ministries degree in 1998.
Pastor Keith’s greatest desire is to build Lighthouse Baptist Church for the glory of God, and to share this ministry with his close church family.
