When Charles S. “Chuck” Baker agreed to head the search committee for executive director of Bethel Bible Village in January, he had no idea he would be chosen for the post.
Baker, now vice president of voluntary benefits client services at Unum, will begin his responsibilities at the Christ-centered, residential ministry for families in crisis on Jan. 1.
“God had been stirring in my heart for five years,” said Baker, a Delaware native and longtime Chattanooga resident, who has served on Bethel’s board for the past four years.
It was “a call to do something else, to leave business, to get into some kind of ministry. I just didn’t know the time, the when or the how.”
He said the search committee received 220 resumes and interviewed three candidates.
