Porcia Baxter

Walking into schools and youth events, I often get asked if I’m a student myself—at my age, that’s one of the best compliments I could ever receive! I truly believe God kept me looking young so students could easily relate to me and feel like I understand where they’re coming from. My heart is to meet students right where they’re at, share God’s truth in a way that connects, and leave them inspired to live boldly for Jesus. I don't want them to leave thinking, "Wow! That was a good message!" I want them to walk away thinking, "Wow! I understand God's call on my life and I'm on fire and equipped to live on mission!"

I’m a gifted communicator who weaves storytelling, humor, and Biblical truth together so students lean in and stay engaged. Whether I’m speaking to kids, teens, or parents, or leaders, my goal is always the same: to create an atmosphere where people walk away encouraged, challenged, and most of all—reminded of how deeply loved they are by God.

Here are a few of the typical types of events I do:

Camps & Conferences
I specialize in keynote presentations for single and multi-day events. Whether it’s 12 messages and breakout sessions at summer camp or 4 messages at a weekend retreat, I work with your theme to ensure students have a life-changing experience. I love using media and creative elements to bring messages alive—and students always stay engaged and never bored.

School Chapels
Most of the school chapels I speak at are in Minnesota, but I travel for chapels across the nation as well. I’ve spoken in all-school high school chapels as well as split sessions tailored for grades K–4, 5–8, and 9–12. I also speak at Christian colleges and universities. I love working with schools to understand their student culture, values, and even current themes or verses they’d like included in my message. Typically schools who book me invite me back every year.

Youth Groups
Wednesday night youth services are some of my favorite settings because of their intimacy and openness. I bring a powerful message of hope and identity in Christ, sharing stories from my own life to help students see that they’re not alone in their struggles and that Jesus is more than enough. I love weaving in Scripture, giving practical tools, and when pastors allow, opening up space for Q&A so students can process what they’ve heard. In 2025, God has given me a message of everyday evengelism - and my core message is to show students how they can live on mission in ordinary life - no platform, microphone, or plane ticket necessary!

Sunday Services
Often when I travel for an event, a church will also ask me to speak to their entire congregation on Sunday. I love serving pastors by speaking in Sunday services as a guest communicator. My messages are tailored for your congregation’s needs and length requirements, and my goal is always to refresh the body of Christ with hope, encouragement, and a clear call to follow Jesus. Because I work with many denominations with varying Theological beliefs, I always "keep the main thing the main thing," and I steer clear of any topics that might be considered controverial or stir up debates. You can rest assured your church will be challenged to get off the bench and get in the game - and that sharing the love of God is the motivator for living on mission!
