Bruce Baker

Bruce Baker served in the US Navy for over 11 years as an Electronics Technician attaining the rank of Chief Petty Officer before leaving the service to work as a TV engineer at a Christian television station. It was during this time he felt the call of God to enter the ministry full-time. He enrolled at Calvary Bible College graduating with a BS in Christian Ministries; he then continued on to Calvary Theological Seminary, where he graduated with a Master's of Divinity degree (Pastoral Studies) with Highest Honors. He received his PhD from Baptist Bible Seminary.

Prior to Bruce Baker becoming permanent pastor at Washington County Bible Church, he was Assistant Professor of Bible and Theology at Grace School of Theology, located in Houston, TX.  He formerly held the positions of Senior Pastor of Jenison Bible Church in Hudsonville, MI; Senior Pastor of Open Door Bible Church in Belton, MO; and Adjunct Professor of Bible and Theology at Calvary Bible College.  It was during his tenure in Missouri that his passion for teaching Bible and Theology to pastors who had no access to any formal education was kindled.

To date, he has taught in over six different countries on four continents. For the last six years he has concentrated his efforts in central Africa (Congo DR, Burundi, and Rwanda).(Yeye anaongea swahiili kidogo, lakini si vizuri sana.  He speaks a little swahili, but not very well.)

Bruce is a contributing author to the book Progressive Dispensationalism as well as the author of numerous journal and magazine articles. Spiritual Maturity is his first full-length book.

Bruce Baker and his wife, Bonnie, have been married over 30 years and have three children and five grandchildren. He enjoys singing and has been a soloist in such works as Hayden's Creation and Handel's Messiah.
