Darryl and Patrice Baker
Pastor and Wife
Pastor Darryl grew up in Gary, IN, the ninth of ten children born to a steelworker father and a homemaker mother. It was his dream to be like the other famous family from Gary, The Jackson 5, but that was short-lived when he realized they didn’t have the vocal giftings of their more famous neighbors. However, it was evident early on that he would do something involving speaking.
Upon graduating from high school in he received an academic scholarship to Florida A&M University, where he graduated with honors with a degree in Business.
Following his second year of college, he married the love of his life, Patrice Chandler. He credits her with being the steadying force that has sustained him throughout life and ministry.
Patrice grew up in the 2nd of 4 girls. Her servant heart, ability to draw others, and vocal gifting, has been used in the church since she was a little girl and continues to this day.
What drives both Darryl and Patrice is having experience firsthand how God used the local church to teach them how to build a thriving marriage and family. They are determined to teach and show others how to experience the same!
