Raised on Long Island, Barnes attended The King's College in New York City, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in history, in 1978. He went on to graduate from Princeton Theological Seminary, in 1981, with a Master of Divinity. Barnes then earned a Doctor of Philosophy in the history of Christianity from the University of Chicago Divinity School, in 1992, under the supervision of Martin Marty. For his doctoral studies, he wrote a dissertation titled "John R. Mott: A Conversionist in a Pluralist World."

In 1981, Barnes was ordained as a minister in the PC(USA), serving in PC(USA) congregations in Colorado Springs, CO, and Madison, WI. In 1993, he became senior pastor of National Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C., serving until 2002, when he accepted a teaching position at Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, in Pittsburgh, PA. One year later, while serving as Robert Meneilly Professor of Pastoral Ministry, Barnes accepted a call to Shadyside Presbyterian Church as senior pastor. On October 8, 2012, Princeton Theological Seminary announced that Barnes was selected to succeed the retiring Iain Torrance as president. Barnes took up his duties as president on January 1, 2013, and was formally installed as president on October 23, 2013. At Princeton Semnary, he also serves as professor of pastoral ministry.

Barnes is married and has a grown daughter and two teenage sons.
