In March 1992, Dr. Baldwin answered God's call into the gospel ministry and was licensed by the Lowndes Hill Baptist Church in Greenville, South Carolina. In March 1993, he was called to serve as Pastor of the Bethlehem Baptist Church in Simpsonville, South Carolina. Since Dr. Baldwin has been at Bethlehem, God has built on the foundation already laid. In October 1996, Bethlehem was blessed to move into a new sanctuary with a seating capacity of over 800. In January 1997, Dr. Baldwin first revealed to Bethlehem the vision that God gave to him for Bethlehem to construct a Christian Life Center and Academy. In December 2004, Bethlehem moved into its 40,000 square foot Christian Life Center and Academy. The Life Center includes an administration wing, a conference room, commercial kitchen, double gymnasium and 6 classrooms. The Bethlehem Christian Academy opened its doors for the first time in August of 2006. The Academy provides a comprehensive program of educational excellence featuring Formula Three, ABeka Bible Curriculum, and SC state standards for grades K4 through 5th Grade. Bethlehem Baptist Church now has two worship services, an After-School Program, Summer Camp and a Christian Academy.

Dr. Baldwin is the Moderator of the Reedy River Baptist Association. Dr. Baldwin also serves on the Board of The Palmetto Bank and Co-Chair of the Greenville County MLK Dream Weekend.
