BRAD HARBAUGH

Dr. Brad Harbaugh serves as President of Capitol Commission, where he leads the ministry’s mission to reach and serve government leaders with the hope and guidance of God’s Word. He views this calling not as a personal achievement, but as an opportunity to exalt Christ and present His truth to leaders in every Capitol community.

Before assuming the presidency, Dr. Harbaugh served three years as North Carolina’s State Minister with Capitol Commission, faithfully ministering to the personal and spiritual needs of legislators and staff. An ordained pastor, he previously served congregations in Ohio, Michigan, and for more than thirteen years at The Shepherd’s Church in Cary, North Carolina. He also served as an adjunct professor at Shepherds Theological Seminary.

Dr. Harbaugh holds a doctorate in counseling from Westminster Theological Seminary in Philadelphia, PA. He regularly preaches, teaches, and counsels across the country, and has led numerous mission teams both domestically and internationally—building churches through Carpenters for Christ, equipping pastors, serving in medical outreach in Kenya, and ministering in prisons.

Prior to full-time ministry, Dr. Harbaugh worked in engineering, an experience that deepened his compassion for people and shaped his commitment to evangelism and community outreach.

He and his wife, Robin, met in college and have served Christ together for more than forty years. They are blessed with four married adult children and twelve grandchildren, and are most grateful to see their family walking with Christ.
