DR. WOLFENBARGER'S BIOGRAPHY

Dr. Gene Wolfenbarger was born to a farming family in the hills of eastern Tennessee, where he spent the first sixteen years of his life.  He attended a very small four-room country school until his sophomore year.  The Wolfenbarger family moved to California in the mid-fifties where Dr. Wolfenbarger finished high school and college.

He came to Texas in the early sixties and managed Dallas Extrusion Die, Inc.  While attending Central Park Baptist Church, he accepted Christ as his personal Savior.  He entered Bible Baptist Seminary in Arlington, Texas in 1967 where he received his Bachelors Degree in Biblical Studies.  He later received his Doctorate from the Baptist Christian College of Shreveport, Louisiana.

Dr. Wolfenbarger has served as pastor of three Baptist churches, and served as a full time evangelist for twelve years.  He presently is the founding pastor of the Joshua Baptist Church, which he started in 1986 with about 10 to 15 prospective members.  The church currently has a membership of well over 1,000 people.

Besides the duties of pastoring a church, Dr. Wolfenbarger serves as the Dean for the Joshua Baptist Bible Institute, and as the Founder and President of the Joshua Christian Academy.

Dr. Wolfenbarger is the proud father of six children.  He and his wife, Ginger, enjoy spending time with the family out at the "ranch".  In his spare time, he enjoys breeding and training coon dogs, hunting, and working outdoors.
