Ray Baumann
Wearing many hats typically come easy to a minister. Such is the case with Ray Baumann. Youth Pastor, Associate Pastor, Coach, Husband, and Father, Ray wears them all, while continually trying on more. Ray is a former emergent, postmodern relevant, purpose-driven church growth thinker that God has dramatically transformed. Currently serving as Associate Pastor at First Assembly of God in Belleville, IL, Ray is a 10-year youth ministry veteran turned family pastor. While he spent the first eight years of his ministry focused on growing the church, Ray has recently changed his focus to growing the believer. Coupled with a passion for speaking on youth culture and church issues, Ray enjoys coaching and training high school soccer players at Belleville East High School year round. Juggling ministry, coaching, and family isn't always easy, but Ray's easy going personality, quick wit, and his desire to disciple students are truly God-given gifts, gifts that God has used to bless Ray in both his ministry and his family. Ray and his wife Kristi have four children and have taken on the challenge of working to home school their children, all the while teaching them of the importance of leading Christ centered lives. Their active, lively household is located in Shiloh, IL.
