Pastor Ray Mellett is the founding pastor of GraceLife Community Church, which he and his wife Debbie planted in 1986. After radically encountering the Lord during the “hippy” movement, Pastor Ray pursued Biblical studies at Pinebrook Junior College and The King’s College before serving in ministry in New York. Through decades of faithful leadership, Pastor Ray has helped build a church centered on revival, community transformation, and a passion for God’s presence.
