Rev. Bak, an ordained elder since 2007, came to Market Street Methodist Church on
July 1, 2020.  Born and raised in New Jersey, she heard God's call to preach, and had a 
desire to study God's word.  Pastor Heidi graduated from Philadelphia Bible University with
a BS in Bible and a major in Leadership.  She received her Masters of Divinity Degree from
Eastern Baptist Theological Seminary (Palmer). Heidi has three children and six grandchildren.
   Pastor Heidi's love of the Lord shows though all that she says and does.  Her primary
interests are in pastoral ministry and include creating excellence in worship, forming 
partnerships between congregations and community organizations, pastoral care of church
members and friends and creating opportunities for families and children to engage their
faith.  Rev. Bak is an extraordinary pastor and is know for her "out-of-the-box" style of 
modern Christian ministry
    Heidi's faith journey was jump started through women's ministries with involvement in
Bible studies and retreats and this has translated to her passion, ministering to women.  God
hard wired women to need women, and since the beginning of time women have gathered
at the red tent, the watering well, in the grain field and threshing floor.  While working side by
side they confided in one another and carried each others burdens.  For more than
10 years Pastor Heidi has led Waves of Grace Women's Retreat in Wildwood, NJ. Heidi
believers, "If you bring a women to Christ not just one person is changed, but a whole family!
