Barnabas Factor founder Tom Salter has been a pastor for over 50 years. In 1970, he helped found Christian Encounter Ministries in Grass Valley, CA, a residential treatment and educational center for troubled teens.
Over the years, he has pastored churches in northern California and southern Oregon and has conducted several successful “interim pastorates” at churches in transition. These include three Baptist churches, non-denominational churches, and Christian Churches.
Tom has a BA from what is now William Jessup University and a MA in New Testament from Lincoln Christian Seminary in Illinois.

With over 50 years of preaching through his career, he is known for his expositional preaching style and use of contemporary illustrations and application. He has several series of messages that span entire books of the New Testament.
He also covers many topical subjects for special emphases including Missions, Discipleship and Stewardship and well as holiday messages including Thanksgiving, the Christmas season, Good Friday, Easter, 4th of July and more. Tom would love to come to your church to “fill the pulpit!”

"His love and commitment to Jesus is evident to all who know him. He loves people desiring them to be saved, and he loves to preach and teach Jesus Christ with passion and conviction, yet with a spirit of gentleness and humility. Please consider Tom for use in your ministry, for I am convinced he will be a blessing and a benefit to your church. His ministry among us at Hope Church is a great blessing."
-Mike Morrill, Hope Church Leader, Brunswick, Maine
"Tom Salter was my pastor when I was just getting started in ministry almost 35 years ago and he was a great mentor and still a good friend. He preaches from the heart and lives what he preaches. He and Barbara have devoted their lives to helping others, training pastors, and preaching God's Word. I would highly recommend him to bring the message of Christ and His love to your church. His experience overseas in training pastors brings a unique perspective to his preaching. Combined with his extensive life experience, he will encourage and challenge your congregation and expand their knowledge of the impact that the Gospel is making around the world."
-Jim Jessup, Director of Church Relations, Jessup University
