Nothing is more important than who Jesus is and what is the gospel that saves
My name is Jim Baumgaertel. I live in Port Orchard, Washington State, USA with my wife, Kim. We have four adult children and four grandchildren. After 400 years of church history on this continent (Race and Racism) and after the craziness of recent years, we recently decided to become a part of Sinclair Missionary Baptist Church in Bremerton.
I am a retired engineer and formerly worked in a shipyard. Before the shipyard, I was in the Navy and served on submarines. It was my privilege to help lead our local church assembly for six years, until 2020. I teach home schooled students with my wife.
It’s my desire that the Lord would use these pages to proclaim His Gospel, to invite people to put their trust in Him, to build His Ekklesia, and to warn of false gospels, false messiahs, and counterfeit religious systems.
