Both
of our Pastors have been exposed to dead religion and the Spirit of Revival,
through growing up in church.
They each have a strong love and passion for the presence of
God that will transform every person into vessels of fire.
With an exciting gift, our Pastor teaches the
kingdom of God, passionately urging the Church to return to God with
pure honor. As Directors
of Forward Ministries, the Pastors have given their lives to building the
kingdom and knowing the ins and outs of a thriving revival center.
The leaders of Forward Church are here to serve and help you. We want to be involved in your life, helping to point or guide you and your family into the blessings of God. We are here to stand with you and pray with you in all your seasons of life, the good times as well as the difficult. It is our heart to see that all the members of Forward Church are equipped to minister and achieve the purposes that God has planned for them and all His church.

Prophet Jan Baker

After nearly eighteen years of
pastorate, thirteen years of pastorate in the Church of God
(Cleveland, TN) and five
years of national and international itinerate ministry, a new
vibrant church was planted and during a New Year’s Service on
December 31, 2002, the “winds of God” began to blow and an entire
congregation experienced a Revival from God in Northwest Louisiana.
Since then, Prophet Baker has dedicated her life to the pursuit of
the Kingdom of God and carrying revival to the nations.
In February 2009, Jan Baker and
a team of leaders agreed to relocate to Raleigh, North Carolina. It
was during this relocation that Prophet Baker and the team connected
with the Kansas City Revival at World Revival Church (home to the
Smithton Outpouring), and realized that their passion for city-wide
revival was not merely a dream. Now, as a member of World Revival
Network, she and the congregation of Forward Church are living the
dream.
