Brent Baker
Assistant Pastor of Youth and Families
Brent’s ministry to our PCPC families began in January 2005 when he joined the youth ministry as an intern under Mark Davis’ leadership, who was serving as Director of Youth Ministries at the time. After a few years, he was asked to be the Ministry Leader to Children and Families while he also concurrently pursued a seminary education. In the Fall of 2010, he was called to his current position as Director of Youth Ministries and in January 2013 was ordained and installed as an Assistant Pastor at PCPC. Brent’s time at PCPC working with children, youth, and families has been a wonderful, challenging, fun, transformative calling for the last several years.
He is married to Alison and they have two children, Brynn Eleanor and Davis Scott.
Brent graduated from Texas A&M University in 2004 with a BBA in Marketing and completed my Masters of Divinity from Westminster Theological Seminary in May 2011.

Grace Finley
High School Resident
My name is Grace Ann Finley and I grew up in Bryant, AR. In my pursuit of a degree in Business Administration - Management, I had the privilege of attending Ouachita Baptist University in Arkadelphia, AR. The connections I made at OBU allowed me the opportunity to serve as a summer high school intern at my home church. Then, for 3 summers the Lord graciously placed me at Kanakuk Kamps as a high school camp counselor and photo manager. Following college graduation, I moved to Branson, MO to attend a biblical training program called the Kanakuk Institute. Because of the class credits I received there, I’m now slowly chipping away at my MBA!
I’m so excited for this opportunity to serve you by pouring into your children’s lives. I remember high school as a time of great challenge and growth. My prayer is that the Lord would use me as a positive voice in their life, as they navigate these formative years.
