Rev. J. T. BuVdine, Jr.
Fairbanks Ministerial Associa
tion president is Rev. J. T. Bur
dine, Jr., minister of the Univer
sity Baptist Church at College.
Along with his activities at
College, Burdine is director of
the Baptist Student Union group
at the University of Alaska.
Although Burdine and his fam
ily have only been in Alaska for
little more than a year, they
hope to be here for many years
to come.
He was born in Ohio, but he
and his family lived many years
in Florida where he completed
his grade and high school work.
He majored in speech at Stetson
University in DeLand Florida \
before attending the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary in
Kentucky. There he received his
Th.M. in 1946, and Th.D. as a
church history major in 1951.
Burdine’s student pastorates were at Davenport Baptist
Church, Davenport, Florida; Union Grove Baptist Church,
Bedford, Kentucky; Markland Baptist Church, Markland, In
diana; and First Baptist Church, Huntsville, Alabama.
The minister married Freda Beutel in Kentucky in 194o

Before taking the pastorate at the University Baptist
Church in April, 1961, Burdine served at the Eminence Baptist
Church, Eminence, Kentucky, 1947-1952; First Baptist Church,
Clinton, Kentucky, 1952-54; and Bardstown Baptist Church,
Bardstown, Kentucky, 1954-1961.
He came to Alaska as the result of a chain of events which
began at the Southern Baptist Convention in Miami, Florida,
in May 1960. Because of his extensive college work he was fa
vored for the position in Alaska near the state University.
Community charity and service projects have been given con
siderable time by the minister as he was a Kentucky County
Chairman for the National Foundation, Chapter Chairman for
a Kentucky County Red Cross group and ho was on the Ken
tucky Governor’s Advisory Committee on Education and Gov
ernor’s County Social Service Committee.
The Burdines have three children: Rebecca Jean, 12; Lynda
Ann, 10; Jimmy. 6; and Johnny, 4.
