I am a native to Rogersville, MO and a lifelong follower of Jesus Christ. My parents (Darrell & Jimalee) raised me within the churches of Christ in Missouri, Oklahoma, Michigan and Virginia. I am a graduate of Heritage Christian University (BA 2000, MMin 2001) and Trinity Theological Seminary (PhD 2012).  I have also studied at the College of Southern Idaho, Harvard Divinity School, University of Cambridge and the University of Groningen. I received certification in "Youth Mental Health First Aid" through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing (2022). I received AUNLP certification in Life Coaching in 2025 (CLC & MCC). I currently serve as the COO of Peachtree Press, LLC.  I am currently seeking a certificate in Resource Development Models for Small Churches.

 

My ministry experience began a the age of 13 when I preached my first sermon in Johnson City, TX and eventually full-time in Cloverdale, AL at the age of 19. Ministry has taken me all around the world, preaching in 10 states, Cuba and Canada. I serve as chaplain for Baldwin Health and the Snook Christian Academy football team. I have written over 100 books that can be found on my website (www.rayreynoldsrap.com) or can be downloaded through Peachtree Press, LLC. My wife (Misty) and I currently serve in the Reclaiming Hope Ministry and write for Peachtree Press, LLC. We are a blended family with five sons, one grandson and an innumerable amount of  "adopted" kids. Our home is never empty! We also have a precious golden doodle puppy named Lily Belle. 

I currently serve my church family as the Pulpit Minister, previously serving as the Minister to Youth & Young Families, at the Summerdale Church of Christ where I have attended since 2018.  I am the Marketing Director, and occasional guest speaker, for Getting To Know Your Bible television ministry (since 2019). I am the founder and co-director of TITUS Camp at Heritage Christian University (since 2005).  I serve on various boards/committees, write for Christian publications, in addition to producing podcasts/broadcasts for Ray Reynolds Rap, Reclaiming Hope Ministry, Getting to Know Your Bible, Lads to Leaders and the Summerdale Church of Christ. I was honored to be named Alumnus of the Year by HCU in 2016.
