Pastor Ray Ewing

Ray Ewing is the founding Pastor of New Journey Church in Twin Falls, Idaho, which started in 2021. A 14 year veteran of both youth and adult ministry, Ray believes in a relational approach to ministry that focuses on outreach and spiritual growth. In addition to his ministry at New Journey, Ray serves as an English teacher at Lighthouse Christian School. This is a vital opportunity to minister to, and impact, the world leaders of tomorrow. Ray’s wife, Angela, currently serves as the nurse manager at Sage Women’s clinic where she ministers too, empowers, and equips pregnant women. God blessed them with their daughter Allie in 2009.  

      Ray met his wife Angela in 2001 at Chi Alpha, a college outreach ministry. They married in 2004 and then followed a call as missionaries to Louisiana in 2006. Together they planted a new college ministry at the University of Louisiana Monroe in 2007. God encouraged them to focus on diversity, they obeyed, and that ministry strategy brought in students from a multitude of races, cultures, and backgrounds. Consequently, ULM Chi Alpha became the second largest ministry on campus in just two years. 

     While serving as a missionary at ULM, in 2008 Ray accepted a call to serve as the Associate Pastor at Mangham Assembly of God. The primary responsibility of this call was youth ministry. As Ray poured into both ministries, ULM Chi Alpha and the Mangham youth group, both ministries grew.

     Then in 2012 God called Ray to a full-time Associate Pastor role in Farmerville, Louisiana. His primary responsibility was again growing the youth group. God opened doors for Ray to teach English and coach basketball and football at a local school, and this propelled outreach for the youth group. The relationships Ray built teaching and coaching quickly swelled the youth group. In the midst of this ministry God called the Ewing’s back home to Idaho.

     In 2018 Ray was hired as the pastor of Community Christian Church. God honored that call and quickly grew the impact of the church. After three years of service Ray resigned and New Journey Church was founded.
