Lige Reed

Family Pastor

Lige has served with us as Pastor of Family Ministries since 2010. Previously, he worked in various trades from a construction worker to the Vice President of a local manufacturing company. While in those varied careers, Lige could be found assisting and leading youth through the local Fellowship of Christian Athletes huddle. Time spent in that ministry sparked his desire to work with students full time. Lige loves to help students see and understand what it means to be a true follower of Jesus Christ. He is married to the love of his youth, Dusty, and together they have five beautiful children.
