Kerfoot entered the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in 1869, and studied for a year and a half, when his health failed. In 1871, he entered Crozer Theological Seminary, and graduated after one session's work. He studied one year at the University of Leipzig. Upon returning, he became pastor of Midway and Forks of Elkhorn Churches, Kentucky. He continued pastoring until 1886, when he became crippled and resigned.
