BITS OF BRENT'S Personal
HISTORY
Born in Salisbury, North Carolina
years ago.
Brent attended North Carolina State
University and graduated in 1988 with his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. He moved to New Orleans where
he earned his Master of Divinity at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary in
1991. He expects to earn his Doctor
of Ministry in 2009.
Married to his wife, Laura Ann Ward
years ago. They
celebrate their anniversary in June.
Laura Ward Barker was born in New Orleans, Louisiana.
She graduated
Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas with a Bachelor of Music/Music
Therapy in 1985; then from Florida State University with her Master of Music
Therapy in 1987. Laura presently teaches music at North Hills Christian School.
God has blessed Brent and Laura with two children, Wesley
Ward Barker and Laura Katherine Barker.
Wesley,
years old, and Laura Katherine,
years old, both attend North Hills Christian School.
The Barker Family currently live in Salisbury, NC and are
active in both the community and their church.
Brents Statement of Support
I
support the work of the Association, State Convention, and the Southern Baptist
Convention, with its doctrinal stance presented in the Baptist Faith and
Message.
Brents Philosophy of Ministry
I believe
God has established and ordained the local church for the purposes of involving
His children in active worship of their Heavenly Father, encouraging and
motivating them in active soul-winning for the purpose winning the unredeemed to
personal faith in Jesus, discipling believers toward spiritual maturity, and
equipping His children for effective work of ministry in the kingdom of God.
