LESTER HUTSON MINISTRIES

Thanks for visiting the Lester Hutson Ministries website! Hopefully you will find information here that will be of benefit to you.

I was a pastor for more than 50 years. Forty-five of those years were in full-time vocational ministry. It was my joy to serve as Senior Pastor of Berean Baptist Church in Houston, Texas for 33 years. I have preached revivals, conferences and seminars in many states and foreign countries.  Since June 2009, I have been a national field representative for the Christian Law Association.

This website will tell you who I am, where I’ve been and give you the desire of my heart to be a good minister of Jesus Christ. Books and CDs have grown out the ministry that God has given me and you can find out how to order them. A main objective of my post-pastorate years is the development of many more Christian books and preaching/teaching resources. I am working on them and they will be posted in the future. By clicking here you can listen to some of my sermons and view some of the content of my books.    

            Basic Bible Truths is one of my ministry tools which has blessed thousands. Because of its versatility I call it my spiritual crescent wrench. It is a tried and proven, systematic means of presenting the gospel of Christ in a one-on-one environment. Hundreds of pastors and missionaries have found it to be remarkably effective in penetrating hard-to-reach, skeptical people. I encourage you to visit the section of this website that gives details. This tool can help you become a soul-winner just as it has many others.

            The goal of Lester Hutson Ministries is to edify, strengthen and equip God’s people by offering both written and recorded resources. I would be delighted to help you and your ministry in any way possible. I preach revivals, teach conferences and lead seminars on many subjects ranging from The History of Churches to Christian Family Principles. I am committed to biblical, expository preaching and teaching. You can contact me by e-mail at lester@bereanhouston.org and I will promptly make contact with you.  You can also click HERE to see my current calendar of speaking engagements and listing of speaking topics.

BIOGRAPHY

            Lester Hutson placed his faith in Jesus Christ as his personal Savior on October 12, 1954. (click here for my personal testimony)  He publicly committed his life to the gospel ministry on May 1, 1955. While completing public school and during his early college years he served as pastor of three small churches for a total of 4 ½ years. In October, 1964 he became pastor of the Eleventh Street Baptist Church in Beaumont, Texas and on June 6, 1976 he became pastor of Berean Baptist Church in Houston.

            Pastor Hutson has invested almost all his teen and adult life in the ministry. He is 68; over 50 of those years have been spent in pastorates. Forty-five of his years were given to full-time vocational ministry. His 33 years as Senior Pastor of Berean Baptist Church in Houston have been characterized by stability, solid growth, sound financial principles, mentoring, extensive missionary work and multi-faceted ministry. He is the author of many books published by Berean Press and a method of soul-winning known as Basic Bible Truths which is used nationally and internationally by many pastors, missionaries and others. Some of his books have been translated into a number of foreign languages.

            Pastor Hutson earned his BA from Lamar University and his Master of Arts in Religion from Liberty University. He also holds conferred doctorate degrees from both Temple Baptist College in Cincinnati, Ohio and Liberty University of Lynchburg, Virginia. He and Mrs. Hutson have been married since August 3, 1962.

            For seven years Pastor Hutson worked to mentor a young man of God named Robby Pollard to take his place as pastor of Berean Baptist Church.

            On June 7, 2009 Pastor Hutson resigned the pastorate of Berean to join the Christian Law Association as a national field representative. He is available to present the work and ministry of CLA to churches wherever they might be. His CLA representations also include a clear Bible sermon which motivates God’s people to practice Biblical Christianity even when the price is high.

            Pastor Hutson is also available for private engagements. He is highly qualified to teach and preach on many subjects. He is an expositor who is firmly committed to biblical preaching. Contact information is available on this website.

            Much of his current ministry is devoted to the development and preparation of Christian resource materials. Materials designed to help pastors and teachers as well as godly lay-people is a high priority with Dr. Hutson. Many of his sermons and written materials can be accessed through this website.
