Pastor Paul D. Hoover founded Souls Harbor Baptist Church in 1986.   For 6 months, the church met in Brookfield, a suburb of Milwaukee.  After the church was 6 months old, God moved the work into the inner-city of Milwaukee.  On Sunday mornings, people from 5 different counties drive into the city to come to church at Souls Harbor.  He and his wife Cindy have four children who are all serving the Lord.

Pastor Juan Seda has been the Spanish pastor since 1991.  Growing up in the Bronx – New York City, he is very familiar with the great need of urban America.  He has a weekly Spanish radio broadcast, El Puerto de Almas.  Pastor Seda and his family are a great blessing as they are deeply involved in the ministries of Souls Harbor.

Pastor Dan Klaus is the church planting pastor.  He and his family came to serve at Souls Harbor in 2008.  They have been very involved in every area of the ministry.  The Klaus family is now working in church planting in New York City.
