KeithAutry Benton began serving as the student pastor at Langston Baptist Church in August of 2022. This was a full circle moment for him as God allowed him an opportunity to serve at the church he grew up in. That was not in his plans but it was obviously in God’s plans. He is married to his high school sweetheart, Ashley, and they have two sons: Kohen and Kade. 

​

He graduated from Fruitland Baptist Bible College with an A.A. in Christian Ministry (2020). He also received a B.A in Christian Ministry from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (2025). 

​

God got ahold of his life as a junior in high school when he tore ligaments in his knee. He gave up his dreams of playing college football and surrendered to God’s call on his life. He is in student ministry today to see God change the lives of teenagers. 

​

In addition to pastoring at this beloved church, KeithAutry speaks at various events and even coaches the local middle school football team as an extension of his ministry at Langston to mold the next generation of young men. 

​

While he loves what he does, he also loves spending time with his family and considers that his first ministry. His hobbies include coaching football, working out, hunting, and grilling just about anything.
