Speakers and Worship Team
Main Speaker: Ray Murray
Ray Murray is a man on a mission. He has accepted the call to spread God’s Word to a generation that just wants the truth. A group of people unwilling to accept the phrase “that’s just the way it is” …A David generation ready to face the Goliaths that have plagued their families and communities for generations. His ministry is honest and seeks to make the Word of God plain to those who are studying to live it… not just to know it. You will soon see that he has an ability to genuinely connect with people from diverse backgrounds because of the unique journey God designed for him.
He is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley’s Haas School of business and received his Masters degree in Christian Ministries from the Liberty University School of Divinity. After a hard-fought journey, he will also complete his Master of Divinity program from the same school in just a few months.
As a devoted husband and father, Ray is married to Vicki Murray, and together, they embrace the joys and challenges of marriage and parenting. Currently, he is serving as the assistant pastor of Hope’s House Christian Ministries in Granada Hills, California. It is his greatest joy to share with you in the discovery of God’s purpose for your life.
