JAMES B. O'REAR | MINISTRY DIRECTOR
James and his wife Penny are Southern California natives, but, as the old saying goes, "we weren't born in Texas, but we got here as fast as we could." In 2005, James served vocationally at his home church in Southern California. Then in 2018, the Lord called him and Penny to North Texas. After serving at various churches in the DFW Metroplex, James was privileged to accept the Ministry Director position at Reformed Baptist Church of McKinney, Texas, in July 2022.
James has been married to his wife, Penny, since 2009, and they are patiently waiting on the Lord to bless them with children. He enjoys coffee dates with Penny, watching football (GO PACK GO), playing his guitar, smoking meat, and studying theology. James has a B.A. in Liberal Studies with a minor in music theory and composition from California Baptist University and will soon begin the seminary journey toward a Master of Divinity.
