Rev. Dr. Frank B. Kellogg

FRANK BRADLEY KELLOGG was born April 7, 1925 in St. Paul, MN. Frank entered military service in 1943. While stationed at Ft Campbell, KY he met and married Alice Joy Bradbury on Aug. 27, 1944. He served in the European Theatre during World War II and was honorably discharged in Feb. 1946. Frank was licensed to preach in 1945 and ordained in 1946 in Nashville TN. He actively pastored Southern Baptist Churches in Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma and Missouri until 1970 when he accepted the call to serve as the president of Missouri Baptist College. Dr. Kellogg had an active role in both the MO Baptist and Southern Baptist Conventions. He served on the Missouri Baptist Executive Board, as Trustee for the Missouri Baptist Children’s Home, Trustee of Missouri Baptist College, and Trustee of Midwestern Seminary. Upon his resignation from Missouri Baptist College in 1974 Frank formed a partnership with several forward thinking medical and business professionals and established Gateway Care Inc. Gateway built, owned and operated senior residential and long-term care facilities. Upon retirement and dissolution of Gateway Care, Frank and Joy resided at the Lake of the Ozarks where they were active members at First Baptist Church Camdenton, and volunteers at Lake Regional Hospital. The Kellogg’s funded a Gerontology Chair at Southwestern Seminary, and a scholarship fund at Missouri Baptist University. Frank was a dedicated committed minister who would rather preach than eat. He was truly remarkable in his last few years when even though his speech was garbled and often unintelligible if asked to pray he was articulate, thoughtful of all his family, and thankful for all the blessings God has granted Dr. Kellogg is survived by his wife Joy; three children, Linda Hostetter (Jack), David Kellogg, James Kellogg (Marsha Manwarring); six grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren.
