Our Pastors.
Bray & Diane Sibley
Bray Sibley is a fourth generational preacher of the gospel of Jesus Christ. After being raised in church, his love of music and the allure of the world caused him to drift from God in his teens. He found himself searching for which was real, religion or the things of the world. After marrying his beautiful wife, Diane, at the early age of 19, they began to feel drawn to God and ask a profound question: “If Jesus is real, shouldn’t we serve him with all our hearts?” One night alone in their room, they asked, “Jesus, if you’re real, come into this room.” The presence of Jesus filled the room and their hearts that night. At that moment, they realized the only real choice for them was a genuine relationship with God through Jesus Christ. That experience started a spiritual revolution in their lives.
Bray began to share the gospel everywhere he went and pursue his dream of playing music. He and his band, Jesus, Power & Light, traveled the country singing and preaching the gospel, and they made their first LP, “Better Way”. Bray was ignited with a fire to do more for God. His home church asked him to serve as youth pastor. He didn’t like the idea, but he surrendered to the Lord’s calling. The youth group grew through personal discipleship, and Bray raised up many great leaders and missionaries that serve to this day.
In 1987 Bray’s pastor asked him to launch a college ministry/church across town. Though this was not in his plan, he surrendered to God’s call. This was the beginning of Harvest World Outreach. During this time, Bray recorded a few new projects: “Be Right Back”, “Take the City”, and “Fire and Rain”. Many of his songs were covered by national recording artist and Grammy nominee Phil Driscoll.
The church grew and relocated to a larger building and Bray continued to record in-house worship albums, including his newest record, “Arrow Project”. Pastors Bray and Diane were selected to be on the international ministry team of Pastor Cesar Castellanos. Pastor Cesar was one of the keynote speakers in the 100 year anniversary of Azusa street along with Hillsong’s Brian Houston.
45 years later, Pastors Bray and Diane are still in love, still on fire for God and still making music! Their greatest accomplishments are their 5 beautiful children (Leah, Beka, Hannah, Bray III, & Madison). Every one of them is married to an awesome disciple of Jesus and is called to full-time ministry. Though they love their children, their greatest joys are their 9 beautiful grandchildren.
Currently the Sibley’s are aiming to restore traditional church back to the roots of evangelism and disciple-making. They are believing for a great outpouring of God’s Spirit! They and their young staff are highly motivated and declare plainly: “We were raised up for this time in history, and our goal is to change the world!” The Sibley’s life theme is based Isaiah 61, “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he has anointed me to preach the gospel...” Hopefully, we will see the release of a new family worship project in the near future!
The rest is still being written....❤️
