Jan Baker

Jan Baker was raised in a preacher’s home from the age of five.  Her father, an ordained minister for the Church of God (Cleveland, TN), pioneered numerous churches across the Midwest and Northwest United States and held pastorate in eight States.  As a minister’s daughter, Jan Baker grew up around the typical church scene.

From an early age, Jan Baker was taught the necessity, power, privilege, and experience of prayer. The teaching she received in childhood and teenage years has kept her on a journey toward destiny ever since. She has been effectively teaching the same power of prayer for over twenty-five years.

After nearly eighteen years of pastorate in Denver, Colorado, thirteen years of pastorate in the Church of God and 5 years of national and international itinerate ministry, Jan Baker moved her ministry headquarters to the Northwest Louisiana. While in Louisiana, a vibrant church was planted and during a New Year’s Service on December 31, 2002, the “winds of God” began to blow. Since 2003, Pastor Jan has dedicated her life to the pursuit of the Kingdom of God and the carrying of revival to the nations. The season of pioneering in Louisiana did not come easily.  Jan Baker faced crisis, loss, betrayal and enormous spiritual warfare in both ministerial and personal levels.  However, having a firm foundation from childhood, she continued to see breakthrough in every realm.

In February 2008, Jan Baker and a team of pastors agreed to carry the winds of Revival to the Raleigh, North Carolina metro area. It was during this relocation that Pastor Jan connected with the Kansas City Revival at World Revival Church (home to the Smithton Outpouring) and realized that her passion for city-wide revival was not merely a dream. Now, as a member of World Revival Network, Pastor Jan and the congregation of Forward Church are living the dream.

Upon relocation to North Carolina, Pastor Jan felt it was necessary to pioneer a Church with a passion for revival.  During this season, Forward Church is the main focus, serving as a vibrant and energetic home base for Jan Baker Ministries. Beyond Forward Church, Jan Baker continues her itinerate ministry, both nationally and globally.

The ministry of Jan Baker highlights revival, as she imparts life and restores the broken and captive everywhere she travels.  She preaches a challenging message that will inspire you, both naturally and spiritually, to walk into your destiny.  Jan Baker ministers with intense deliverance and apostolic/prophetic anointing, preaching and living an uncompromised Gospel and a demonstration of the power of that Gospel.
