Pastor Dennis Bauer
Executive Pastor
Pastor Dennis, his wife Sarah, and their children, Nathan, Austin, and Kaitlyn, came from Bay Valley Christian Church in Bay City, Michigan (a Resurrection Life Church International Affiliate) and now live in Richland.
Pastor Dennis provides assistance to Senior Pastor Lee Cummings. He provides leadership and coordination of several church ministries, overseeing and monitoring departmental and overall church budgets, missions, teaching, coaching, and manageing and implementing church policies and procedures. Pastor Dennis’ responsibilities are far too long to list. We are more than excited and are extremely blessed to have the entire Bauer family on our team.
Pastor Dennis worked as an engineer while pursuing the Lord and a solid biblical education at Supernatural Ministries Training Institute in 1987. In the summer of 1990 he was ordained as a minister at River of Life Fellowship church in Standish, Michigan. Pastor Dennis attended Bethel Chapel’s School of Ministry in 1993/1994 and also took courses through Covenant Theological Seminary. He was licensed as a minister with Bay Valley Christian Church in 1995, attended Vision Christian Bible College & Seminary, and completed his Theology degree in 2001. In 2002 he became a full-time Executive Pastor at Bay Valley. It is obvious that Pastor Dennis loves to learn and has a deep affection for the Lord.
Pastor Dennis has a passion for missions, as well as the Spanish language, and desires to continue his education in the language until he becomes fluent.
