My name is Robert Walker.
I was born in Atlanta, Ga but have traveled the world, living in Central Asia for seven years as my parents served as missionaries. This humbling experience has given me a unique perspective on culture and life in general. I attended Union University, where I met and later married my beautiful wife Abigail. During my junior year there, I surrendered to the call to ministry, and later attended Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and received my MDiv. in May of 2017. I now serve as the Pastor to the Children and their Families at Dayton Avenue Baptist Church in Xenia, OH.
I live to make Christ known and to equip His Church. He has saved me from a life of slavery to sin and given me life abundant. (Eph. 2:1-2, John 10:10 ) He is Lord of the Universe and alone worthy of worship.(Col 1:15-18 ) His church is the means by which he carries out His mission and I am honored to have the opportunity to equip the saints for that ministry. (Eph. 4:11-13)
Both Abigail and I share a passion for family ministry. We want nothing more than to see parents making disciples of their children. It is a huge blessing whenever and wherever we are able to serve and equip families as we labor together to make disciples and spread the knowledge God’s glory to the ends of the earth. (Hab. 2:14)
Abigail and I were married in May of 2013 and are expecting our first child, a daughter, in September.
