Jerrad Richards
Jerrad began serving bi-vocationally as Connections Minister at WRBC in August 2023. Prior to his current role, Jerrad served at Surrey Hills Baptist Church in Yukon (2016-2022) and he began his ministry at Crescent First Baptist Church (2015-2016). Jerrad’s passion is to see families transformed by the power of the gospel. He is committed to being Gospel-centered in his ministry, believing that as the faith family grows into mature and faithful ambassadors of Jesus Christ, they will daily walk in their ambassadorial calling of living missionally. All for the glory of Christ.
Jerrad was raised all over Oklahoma, but Crescent is his home base. He is the son of a pastor, teacher-coach and stay-at-home mom who raised Jerrad and his two younger sisters. Jerrad met his wife, Michelle, while they were both working at Devon Energy in Oklahoma City. They were married in October 2016 and have two children, Hallie and Hudson. In his free time, Jerrad enjoys spending time with his family and friends, attending various concerts, OU football games, and OKC Thunder basketball games, watching movies, reading books, and serving on various boards.
Jerrad graduated from Southwestern Oklahoma State University (SWOSU) in 2014 with a degree in Business Management. He became a licensed minister in July 2017 and was ordained to Gospel ministry in December 2023.
