Joseph and Helga Lumbrix
March, 2025
Joseph and Helga Lumbrix have lived in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and Kentucky. Joseph has served as teacher and principal at Whitefield Academy in Louisville and the Christian Academy of Carrollton, Kentucky. Joseph earned a bachelor’s degree from North Central University (Minneapolis) and a Master of Divinity at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He has pastored several churches, most recently for fourteen years at Mount Olivet Baptist Church of Willisburg, Kentucky. Helga plays the violin and Joe the cello, and they love to sing! The couple met in a string quartet at the University of Wisconsin in Eau Claire. They have five adult children and seven grandchildren.
A statement of personal faith, Joe’s testimony of experiencing God’s grace: “In early elementary school I heard the gospel faithfully proclaimed at the church my family attended. I was convinced of my sinfulness and need for Christ to save me. I prayed and confessed my sins until I sensed a great relief knowing that my sins were forgiven. I was baptized while in elementary school. I sensed a call to Christian ministry while I was in middle school, I prepared for vocational ministry, and I have worked in pastoral ministry since 1982. My love and appreciation of the Scriptures and fellowship with God increase as I walk with Him, as does my intense experience of God’s mercy toward those who did not deserve God’s kindness.
“I am interested to promote sharing God’s good news of salvation with people of all ages, so that God may save people, and that those who are converted to Christ may move on to maturity and service for the Lord. The healthy church enjoys and shares in worship, fellowship, Bible teaching and preaching, prayer, evangelism, missions, including helping people in need. I am thankful to be a part of God’s work at Cove Hill Baptist Church. We will work together until Christ returns for His own.”

Brother Joe was born and raised here is Carroll County. He is married to his wife Patricia (Pat) and they have two children and eight grand-children. In his words:
I was raised and was taught the gospel in Cove Hill Baptist Church and continued to worship here all but eight years of my adult life.
When I returned, I once again began to work and serve in the church. I have served on many committees, taught Sunday School for eighteen years and served as a Deacon. I was licensed to preach in March, 1994 and did quite a bit of Pulpit Supply in Carroll and surrounding counties but didn’t really answer the call to preach until 2004. I was ordained into the ministry in October, 2004 and worked as Associate Pastor with Rev. Larry Smith and Rev. Bern Kiser.
I was senior Pastor of Cove Hill from May, 2007 to October 2024 and now continue service as Associate Pastor. I am a student of life long work and service in the church with many years of personal study of God’s Word.
I know that it’s only by God’s grace and the promise of His Holy Spirit that I am able to do what He has called me to do.
