Ray Gilder

Director, Bivocational Ministry Tennessee Baptist Convention

National Coordinator, Bivocational and Small Church Leadership Network

As reported in the February 2015 Tennessee Baptist Reflector, “Gilder was a fully funded pastor in Memphis in the early 1990s before joining the staff of the Tennessee Baptist Convention as church and community ministers director. When he was asked to take over bivocational ministries in 1995, Gilder made a decision that some people questioned. He specifically requested to give up his “full-time” status with the convention so he could serve as a bivocational pastor. Gilder moved to McMinnville and began serving as a bivocational pastor. As he began to work and minister with other bivocational pastors, Gilder had “credibility” because “I was one of them,” he affirmed.
