He served as the founding principal of Colonial Christian Academy in Granite City, IL for two years from the fall of 1978 to the summer of 1980.

He served as assistant pastor in Portland, ME from the summer of 1980, until the summer of 1981.  While there he started a prison ministry where many inmates came to God and were baptized in Jesus Name in the prison.

He founded the Apostolic Church of Jesus Christ in Portsmouth, New Hampshire in 1981, and pastored there for 22 years.  During this time the church grew and 348 people were baptized in Jesus Name and 275 people received the Baptism of the Holy Ghost.

Bro. Batchelor has preached in many churches, at conferences, ministers' seminars, and camp meetings throughout the USA and in other countries.

In 2003, Bro. Batchelor felt the call from God to take the pastorate of the Hornbeak Pentecostal Church in Hornbeak, Tennessee. The church has more than tripled in attendance with 80 people being baptized in Jesus' Name, and many of those have received the baptism of the Holy Ghost.

Bro. Batchelor met and married Debby Goodwin while at Gateway College of Evangelism.  She teaches at Black Oak School in the community that the church is located. They have two sons, Joshua 29 and Jeremy, 25.  Both sons graduated from Gateway College of Evanglism in 2007 .  Jeremy is now serving as youth pastor in the Hornbeak Pentecostal Church, and Joshua is on the staff at Gateway College of Evanglism.
