Todd Baker

I was born and raised in Fuquay- Varina and could not think of many other places I would call home. I graduated form FVHS in 1989. Spent 8 years serving in the US Air Force, where I got the opportunity to travel to other places and countries. I married my wonderful wife on December 14, 1991. She is my best friend, counselor, planner, organizer, biggest fan, and cheerleader. Our family consist of our son Nathan, who is serving as a FVPD, his wife Marie, our daughter Megan, lives in Nashville and teaches high school AP biology, our son Tanner, he is a sophomore at FVHS. I have been involved in youth ministry since 1998. I am also the FVMS baseball coach and have been for several years. However, my passion is teaching God’s word to students and growing their knowledge, understanding, and faith in our Heavenly Father. There is no greater joy than watching a student fully recognize the true nature of God’s grace and where they fit in the will of Him. I am excited to be serving as Fuquay-Varina Baptist Church’s youth pastor and to see what God is going to do here.
