Pastor & Leadership

At Celebration Lutheran Church, we are led by Pastor Keinbaum, who is dedicated to proclaiming Christ and equipping God’s people for His mission. He moved from Barcelona, Spain, to the U.S. for theological training at Concordia University Nebraska and Concordia Theological Seminary. Pastor Keinbaum has served congregations in Lincoln, NE, Garden City, KS, Lakin, KS, and Ulysses, KS, always pointing others to the saving grace of Jesus. Through preaching, teaching, pastoral care, and heart for missional work, he encourages our church family to grow in faith and live out God’s love in service to the world.

As the head elder of our Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod congregation, I see it as both a privilege and a responsibility to help shepherd the spiritual well-being of our members. I lead our Board of Elders with prayerful discernment, working closely with our pastor to uphold sound doctrine, assist in worship planning, and provide guidance on matters of church discipline. I dedicate time to visiting those who are sick, shut-in, or spiritually struggling, always striving to be a listening ear and a source of encouragement. My role allows me to build bridges between our pastor and congregation, helping to foster unity, faithfulness, and compassionate care throughout our church family. It's a calling I take to heart, as together we continue to walk in Christ’s love and truth.

Kenny faithfully serves as the congregation’s Council President, overseeing the business affairs of our church. For questions about involvement, partnerships, or general engagement with the church community, feel free to reach out to him directly.
