Ray Corlew

He loves people. From a young age, Ray experienced a deep and personal relationship with Jesus Christ. He accepted Jesus as his Savior, was baptized in water, filled with the Holy Spirit, and felt a strong call to pastoral ministry— all before he was 13 years old. This early spiritual foundation led him to pursue a higher calling in ministry.

Ray attended North Central Bible College in Minneapolis, MN, where he earned his pastoral degree. It was there that he met his wife, Pat, with whom he has shared nearly 60 years of marriage. Together, they have built a life rooted in faith and service to others.

Throughout his career, Ray has had the privilege of pastoring churches across the midwest and Arizona, touching countless lives. After retiring from full-time ministry, he continues to serve on staff here, where leads the Senior Adults Ministry. His heart for God’s Kingdom remains steadfast as he works to further its reach through every opportunity.

Ray is passionate about serving others, building strong communities, and nurturing the spiritual growth of those around him. His legacy of love, service, and dedication continues to inspire those he meets, and he remains committed to advancing the mission of the church.
