Randy Harper
Pastor
Our senior pastor, Randy Harper, and his wife Vicki have been serving Bellaire Baptist Church since 1996.
Randy grew up in an Air Force family and graduated from high school in Honolulu, Hawaii, prior to moving back to the Bossier City area. While working for an engineering firm, He was saved during a revival. He is a graduate of Baptist Christian College with a B.A., M.A., and Doctor of Divinity. He is an Associate of Divinity from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. He holds a Doctor of Ministry Degree from Luther Rice Seminary, and a Doctor of Theology degree from Louisiana College. He holds a black belt in Karate and Kung Fu, and his first ministry after being saved was through Kung Fu demonstrations.
His first full-time ministry position was Minister of Evangelism and Associate Pastor at First Baptist Church in Bossier City where he served for seven years. Feeling God’s call to the pastorate, he served as Pastor of Northwoods Baptist Church in Shreveport for four years prior to coming to Bellaire.
