About the Director
Robert T. Koehler
Minister of the Gospel
I am a lifelong follower of Jesus Christ, a resident of Tampa, Florida, and a member of Bayshore Baptist Church. I was dedicated by my parents to the Lord on July 29, 1990, at First Baptist Church of Temple Terrace. I grew up attending New Tampa Baptist Church, where I was baptized on November 24, 2002 (aged 12). I was ordained into the Christian ministry on September 10, 2012, by Saint Luke Evangelical Christian Ministries, a small non-denominational church in Hephzibah, Georgia. On October 30, 2020, I launched Spirit of Jesus Ministries, an independent church chartered by Saint Luke Evangelical Christian Ministries. I earned my Ph.D. in Biblical Studies from the Saint Luke Evangelical School of Biblical Studies on December 30, 2020. My wife and I joined Bayshore Baptist Church on January 30, 2022, and were married there on April 22 of the same year.
I am honored to currently serve as the Chaplain of the Saint Petersburg Chapter, Florida Society Sons of the American Revolution (Terms: 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025).
