After being saved in 1970, Pastor Baker surrendered to full time ministry and attended Bible College at Fellowship Baptist College in Peoria, Illinois. In 1987, Faith Baptist School was established under his leadership to provide a Bible-based, quality education and to assist families in training their children to be worthy representatives of Jesus Christ.

Pastor Baker continues serving the Lord faithfully here as a beloved Preacher, trusted advisor, counselor, and teacher.
