About Us
Statement Of Faith
We believe that the Bible is the written revelation of God, and the 66 books of the Bible constitute the plenary Word by the Holy Spirit. The Word of God in the original manuscripts is absolutely inerrant, infallible, and God-breathed.
We believe God the Father, the first person of the Trinity, orders and disposes all things according to His own purpose and grace. We believe He is our salvation. He initiated our salvation. He gave His Son for the atonement of sin and raised Him from the dead. He begets those who believe the gospel. He forgives sin.
We believe that God the Son, the second person of the Trinity, possesses all the divine attributes and is coequal with God the Father and God the Spirit. He is called God.
We believe that God the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity, possesses all the divine attributes and is coequal with God the Father and God the Son.
We believe that man is a sinner bound to a Christless eternity in Hell. Man fell into sin in the Garden and is totally depraved. Mankind's only hope for salvation is through Jesus Christ.
We believe in the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. By the resurrection of Christ from the grave, God the Father confirmed the deity of Christ, accepted the atoning work of the cross, guaranteed resurrection life for all believers and the future bodily resurrection and judgment of the wicked.
We believe the Holy Spirit's work with the church began at Pentecost as promised by God the Son, to initiate and complete the building of the body of Christ, which is His Church. The broad scope of the Holy Spirit's activity during this age includes convicting the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgment, of glorifying the Lord Jesus Christ, and transforming believers into Christ-likeness.
We believe that the purpose of the Church is to glorify God by building itself up in the faith by instruction in the Word of God, by fellowship, by keeping the ordinances, and by evangelizing and discipling the world.
We believe that the Church began at Pentecost and will be bodily resurrected and raptured at Christ's return prior to the tribulation.

"Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?"
-Jeremiah 23:29
We care about you
We are a church family of about 150 people in the farmlands of Northeastern, PA. We are a bunch of sinners, saved by grace, gathering for worship out of obedience to God's command, and out of a love for Him and each other. We are enjoying Psalm 133:1 in our ministry.... "Behold, how good and pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity". Our people genuinely care for each other and others, physically and spiritually. Let us help you study your Bible and know your God better.
Pastor Paul Binkley
Pastor Binkley grew up on a farm in Southern Minnesota. At the age of 5, during a blizzard that kept his family home from church, his Dad led him to the Lord. As a teenager, God gave him a desire for full time ministry . He attended Pillsbury College in Owatonna Minnesota where he met his wife, Karen, from Northern Maine. After graduation in 1992, they moved to Lansdale, PA where Paul completed a Master of Divinity Degree from Calvary Baptist Theological Seminary.
God gave him and his wife 2 boys, Adam and Joel. Their family then moved to Parkesburg, PA where Paul served as Assistant Pastor at Highland Baptist Church for 5 years. In 2001, Paul resigned from full time ministry and worked in Insurance and Water Treatment Sales in Selinsgrove, PA for 10 years. In 2011, God brought their family to Bradford County PA, where Paul became a truck driver in the gas industry. They eventually ended up in the pews of Bakerburg Community Church. They joined the membership and Paul began teaching adult Sunday School Class occasionally.
Our Senior Pastor resigned at the end of 2014, and Paul agreed to help fill the pulpit as Interim Pastor. After a year of our Church praying and seeking God's will for the future of the Church, in January 2016, we voted to call Pastor Paul as our new Senior Pastor.

Tyler Bradley
Youth Director
Tyler Bradley grew up just a mile down the road from Bakerburg Community Church. As a teenager, a friend on his school bus invited him to youth group, and it was there that a youth leader led him to faith in Christ. Bakerburg soon became more than just a church to Tyler, it was where he met his future wife, Anna. Shortly after graduating high school, the two were married.
Life brought both joy and trials. Their first child was born with a rare congenital heart defect requiring multiple open-heart surgeries. In that season, Tyler learned to lean on the Lord with complete trust and submission for the first time.
Tyler went on to serve eight years in the U.S. Navy as an Aviation Ordnanceman. He served five years aboard the USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) and three years at Fleet Readiness Center Southwest at Naval Air Station North Island. During that time, he and Anna welcomed two more children and adopted their eldest daughter. While stationed in San Diego, God used the ministry of Canyon Ridge Baptist Church to disciple and strengthen their family’s faith. Under the preaching of Pastor Chris Chadwick, Tyler sensed God’s call to ministry.
While on active duty, Tyler earned his bachelor’s degree in Biblical Studies from Liberty University. Today, he is grateful to serve as Youth Director at Bakerburg Community Church, the very place where his walk with Christ began, with a passion to reach and disciple the next generation for the glory of God.
Outside of ministry, Tyler enjoys fishing, surfing, and running. His favorite place to be is with his family, making memories together.
