"Developing a passion for Christ by equipping disciples & reaching the lost."
 It is a joy to introduce to you another of our newly installed and ordained officers for the class of 2020.  Ron Baker will serve Redeemer as an elder.  
 
Ron Baker grew up in St. Petersburg, Florida and joined the U.S. Air Force right out of high school to see the world. He was stationed in Cocoa Beach for his entire enlistment where he worked in the Control Tower as an Air Traffic Controller. Ron and his wife TJ have been members of Redeemer since 2018 and live in Riverview, Florida. God chose to redeem Ron while he was serving a lengthy prison sentence in a Florida State prison. A Christian since 1993, Ron graduated with a distance learning diploma in law at Blackstone School of Law and in Biblical Theology at Pensacola Bible Institute while he was serving his prison sentence.  Ron is currently enrolled in Birmingham Theological Seminary seeking his Master's Degree in Theology. Both Ron and TJ led a Christian 12 Step Recovery group at Redeemer for all of 2019 and continue to work in the local recovery community mentoring men and women who have substance abuse problems. Ron is a circuit speaker in the area of recovery and travels the country sharing his testimony of the transformational power of Christ leading to his successful recovery from addiction.  Ron is the owner of Prisoner Connections, LLC, a paralegal firm that supports criminal appellate attorneys in the State of Florida and assists state prison inmates in their parole and clemency efforts. Ron and TJ are avid boaters, hikers and bicyclists and are always looking for interesting places to ride with friends.

We look forward to seeing all the ways that God uses Ron to serve Redeemer in the years to come.
