Pastor Aaron Richert

Pastor Richert was raised in Big Bear City, CA. After graduating high school, he joined the US Army, serving in Alaska and Iraq. While in Alaska at Bible Baptist Church of Fairbanks, he realized his need for a Saviour and turned to Jesus Christ for his salvation. It was at this church he met his wife, Karrie, and they, together, received their call to the ministry and to return to California to serve the people of Big Bear and the regions beyond for the sake of Jesus Christ. After his discharge from the Army, he returned to Big Bear in 2006 to serve as the assistant pastor of Evergreen Baptist Church. In 2009, he was voted in unanimously as the senior pastor and ordained to the gospel ministry. In addition to much "on the job" training, Pastor Richert also attended West Coast Baptist College, Grantham University, and Pacific Baptist College.

Karrie Richert

Karrie grew up in North Pole, Alaska, and Bible Baptist Church of Fairbanks, Alaska, under the leadership of Pastor Doug Duffett. As a teenager, she was saved and soon after, felt called to be a preacher's wife. There at Bible Baptist Church, she met Aaron Richert, and they were married in 2003. Shortly after that, they surrendered to God's call into the ministry. They have two children, Sadie and Jaiden.

Karrie currently serves as the church secretary, in ladies' ministries, children's ministries, and the music ministry.
