Rev. Drake Barnhill

Pastor

Pastor Drake began serving Redeeming Grace OPC in 2025. He came from Louisiana, where God first called him into ministry while learning to study and teach the Bible in his local church. He previously served as a pastor in the Southern Baptist Convention.

He prepared for gospel ministry at Louisiana Christian University, earning a B.A. in Missions and Ministry. He later received his Master of Divinity from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Through much prayer and careful study, Pastor Drake embraced Presbyterian convictions and transferred into the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. He is committed to strengthening believers in their faith and life through the faithful ministry of God’s Word.

His passions include expository, Christ-centered preaching, the Reformed faith, biblical counseling, and authentic evangelism. In his free time, Pastor Drake enjoys playing guitar, reading theology, and spending time with his two cats.
