Hi, my name is Greg Ray… I am the Worship Leader at Blackburn Chapel Baptist Church. I would like to welcome everyone to come worship with us each and every Sunday at BCBC.

This is my second time to lead the music program at my church… my previous position was for 19 years just up the road at FBC McLoud. I have served both times in a part time position as I was a full time public school educator.

My wife, Sharon, and I have been married for 51 years… we have two children and two grandchildren. I taught art in the classroom for 24 years, and then served as the district Technology Coordinator for 17 years. Sharon was an elementary teacher in the classroom for 32 years, teaching mostly 5th grade. Sharon is also very involved in church ministry as well.

My love of music comes from my mom who was a music major at Oklahoma Baptist University. I learned so much from her, even though I drifted away from her primary instrument, the piano. I shifted my musical ability to singing and the guitar, which I have been playing for nearly 60 years. My wife and I have also always been part of our church choir wherever we have served.

My scriptural basis for ministry comes from Romans 12:1… “So then, my friends, because of God’s great mercy to us I appeal to you: Offer yourselves as a living sacrifice to God, dedicated to His service and pleasing to him. This is the true worship that you should offer.”
