Overview

  • Founders Ministries said the pastor and author died Thursday following an emergency medical incident, with funeral arrangements not yet announced.
  • Baucham was named president of Founders Seminary earlier this year after nearly a decade in Zambia as dean of theology at African Christian University.
  • He previously endured a major cardiac crisis in 2021 that led to heart surgery and a subsequent quadruple bypass.
  • His 2021 book Fault Lines became a USA Today bestseller and he was known for conservative teaching on gender roles and critiques of critical race theory in churches.
  • He is survived by his wife, Bridget, nine children and several grandchildren, as pastors Tom Buck and Mike Stone offered tributes; separate reporting has raised questions about a 2021 medical GoFundMe, which has not been independently verified in these articles.
