Life Ticket Church

Our lives have been forever changed by the love of Jesus and we believe this is our time to share that love with more people than ever before. We love doing life and ministry together and we know that God brought us together to be an effective team. We have been blessed with two of the most gifted and kindhearted children ever in our daughter, Destiny (11) and our son, DJ (9). We will never take f

or granted God’s grace upon our family. We have made building our family from the inside out our first priority and helping to build other families that exemplify God’s love and favor. For the past 7 years, we have been part of the leadership team of Word Alive Church International in Manassas, VA. We served as the youth pastors, but God had always maintained in us a strong passion for people beyond the church walls. My wife and I stepped out once before to pastor a church in Leesburg, VA where families were blessed by the ministry, but we neglected to do ministry with a team to share in the dream and share in the work. We learned the hard way to never do ministry alone. Cherry, Sr, we learned the value of order, serving in leadership, and leading through service. In Bishop Cherry’s words, “God brought us into order to bring us back out in order.”

In early 2014, we began to feel compelled by the Holy Spirit that we must quickly identify a succession plan for the youth ministry and launch out to plant a life-giving church in Northern VA. We believe in the “power of done” and that God’s will for Herndon will be manifested. Through prayer and fasting, the Holy Spirit has confirmed in us the vision for ministry to the people of this region. Herndon is known to be a transitory area. Many people work hard then move out west into more spacious family lifestyles filled with new schools, new homes and new malls. We believe Herndon is a great place to live and filled with people who believe life can be better than what it is right now. That is why the Baker's are moving east to Herndon. There is an inescapable burden in our hearts to love people into better life in this city. We would be honored if you joined us in this story!
