He then moved to Cincinnati, Ohio, to become the minister at Concordia Lutheran Church.[3][4] He was president of Concordia Theological Seminary in Springfield, Illinois, from 1946 to 1952.[5][2] He then became the pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in West Allis, Wisconsin, from 1952 until his retirement in 1960.[2]

He was married to Louise Schneemann Barth and had three sons and four daughters.[2] Two of his sons, W. L. Barth and Karl L. Barth, were also Lutheran ministers; the latter became president of Concordia Seminary in St. Louis.[6][7][8]
