Celebrating Our Pastor of the Week: Pastor Jeff Klutz

This week, the San Felipe Baptist Association is honored to celebrate Pastor Jeff Klutz of First Baptist Church Needville as our Pastor of the Week. Pastor Jeff is truly a jack of all trades—someone whose gifts, passions, and servant-hearted spirit have blessed countless people both inside and outside the church.

Pastor Jeff is first and foremost a committed follower of Christ and a devoted student of Scripture. He approaches preaching with joy and conviction, faithfully sharing God’s Word with clarity and enthusiasm. His heart for ministry shines especially bright in his love for youth camps. For more than 30 years, he has played an active role in planning, leading, and supporting camps where countless students have encountered the life-changing hope of Jesus. Jeff’s passion for seeing kids come to Christ has marked his entire ministry.

Within his church family, Pastor Jeff has helped cultivate one of the warmest and most welcoming fellowships around. At FBC Needville, hospitality is a way of life—they share breakfast every Sunday and enjoy some truly legendary church-wide gatherings. Whether it’s fellowship meals or friendly cooking competitions, Jeff is fully involved… and often victorious! It’s no surprise, considering he makes a mean brisket.

But Jeff’s talents stretch far beyond the kitchen and the pulpit. He is also an experienced IT and computer consultant, always ready to step in and solve a problem. He loves animals, fishing, and hard work, and he approaches every task with a willingness to serve. Those who know him best will tell you he is generous with his time, a steady friend, and an exceptional listener.

Pastor Jeff loves his church deeply, and they love him right back. Today, we celebrate his leadership, his kindness, and his unwavering commitment to God’s Kingdom. Congratulations, Pastor Jeff!

Your ministry matters. Your church matters.
