Dr. Todd Kube
Interim Pastor
Dr. Todd Kube brings more than 30 years of ministry experience, serving churches as both a pastor and an intentional interim pastor. He is passionate about helping congregations grow in their relationship with Christ, strengthen their ministries, and faithfully follow God’s direction during times of transition. His desire is to help churches prepare for the future while remaining focused on their mission today.
Todd’s ministry philosophy is simple: Know God and make Him known. Guided by Colossians 3:17, he believes that whatever we do in word or deed should be done for the glory of God. Through his years of ministry, he has focused on helping individuals and churches discover how God is calling them to serve.
His educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration and Accounting from Bridgewater College, a Master of Science in Accounting and Taxation from the University of Virginia, a Master of Divinity from Union Theological Seminary, a Master of Arts in Christian Education from the Presbyterian School of Christian Education, and a Doctor of Ministry in Evangelism, Missions, and Church Growth from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.
Todd and his wife, Traci, an accountant, have two daughters, Amy and Gabrielle, who are both elementary school teachers. After many years of enjoying boating and jet skiing at the lake, Todd and Traci now enjoy exploring the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
New Highland is grateful for Pastor Todd’s leadership, wisdom, and commitment to serving our congregation during this season of transition.
