RAY MEDINA
PASTOR OF COLLEGE & EMERGING ADULTS
Ray has served churches for over seventeen years, from Atlanta, Long Beach, the Bay Area, north of Pittsburgh, and now at Bidwell Presbyterian Church. He and his wife of fifteen years, Jeannine, have two boys, Micah (7) and Jayden (5). The boys were both born in the Bay Area and the family is excited to be back on the West Coast.
Ray has a Masters of Divinity from Fuller Theological Seminary with an emphasis on family and youth and is presently working on a Doctor of Ministry in the areas of Organizational Change and Adaptive Leadership. During his free time, he likes to “chase his boys around in circles,” play guitar, “throw heavy things around the gym,” read mind-blowing stuff, cycle, and date his wife Jeannine.
When asked, “Where are you from?”, Ray likes to respond with the Johnny Cash line, “I’ve been everywhere, man.” He is originally from the Chicago area, where he spent high school and college, but his childhood days were spent in El Paso, Texas.
