Ken came to faith in Jesus Christ while a student at University of West Georgia. As a result, Ken has a passionate desire to see college students come to Christ, grow in a God-centered worldview, and labor in the lives of others. After graduation, Ken took a staff position with Campus Outreach in South Georgia for four years. Ken then began Campus Outreach in Greenville, South Carolina, where the Curries lived for 10 years (1994–2003).

In August 2003, Ken came to Bethlehem to direct the college ministry at Bethlehem through Campus Outreach Minneapolis. Ken and the Campus Outreach Minneapolis staff are seeking to implement the vision of Bethlehem by building laborers on the campus for the lost world. Currently, Pastor Ken has continued oversight of the ministry of Campus Outreach Minneapolis, with increased assistance from Campus Outreach staff leadership.

In July 2011, the congregation approved the elders recommendation that Ken Currie also become Lead Pastor for Outreach, and so he now has the additional responsibility to oversee, shape, protect, and trumpet Bethlehem’s church-wide vision for outreach. He seeks to foster cross-campus collaboration among the outreach staff and provide oversight of establishing the budget for the outreach ministry departments.

Ken’s wife, Theresa, also came to Christ as a student at University of West Georgia and shares his commitment to raise up students who love Jesus and are burdened for the world around them. Ken & Theresa have five children: Hannah, Taylor, Kenzie, Emily, and Austin. Ken is currently working on his Master of Divinity degree through Reformed Theological Seminary.
