Todd Baucum was not born into a Christian home but heard the Gospel explained to him by a visiting pastor at the age of eleven in South Texas and came to saving faith in Christ. He attended Liberty University and graduated with a major in Cross-cultural Studies in 1983. Believing God was calling him to be a Presbyterian, he transferred from a Baptist seminary into one more Reformed. His theological education being diverse, made him think through his beliefs, and as he matured he became more confessional, orthodox and biblical in his theological thinking. Eventually the Lord led him to the Presbyterian Church in America. He is blessed by a wonderfully supportive wife named Mary and four daughters. He enjoys Christian and Classical music, reading good books, spending time serving the Lord and doing short-term missions
