Faith in Action: Pastor Chuck Beickel on Ministry, Family, and Reaching Utah for Christ

Pastor Chuck Beickel has faithfully led Faith Baptist Church since October 3, 1999. Raised in Imbler, Oregon, he came to know Christ at the age of six and surrendered his life to the Lord in 9th grade at a youth conference in Milton-Freewater. After attending one year at Pensacola Christian College, he transferred to Trinity Baptist College to complete his ministry training. He began pastoring in 1989 at Summerville Baptist Church before being called to Faith Baptist Church in Layton, Utah, in August 1999. In 2011, God brought Chuck and Tammie together, and they were married on August 5. Tammie, a pastor’s daughter raised in the South, brings her heart for women’s ministry to Faith. She’s passionate about helping women stay connected and grow in Christ through fellowship and service. Pastor Beickel’s vision for Faith Baptist is to reach Utah—and beyond—with the Gospel through outreach, missions, and media. He has a special heart for senior ministry and rehabilitation outreach. His mission is to see strong discipleship, bold evangelism, and every member actively using their God-given gifts in ministry. Chuck enjoys the outdoors and stays active with handball, pickleball, cycling, hunting, and fishing. Together, Pastor and Tammie have six children, eight grandchildren, and love spending time with family. #politicit #utahelections #utpol
