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.
