iEmerge Youth Ministry

iEmerge Youth President

Elder Randy Reid was born in Kingston, Jamaica and migrated to Canada at the tender age of two. He is the eldest of three boys for his mother. He made the conscious decision to give his life to Christ and go down in water baptism at the age of seven. In spite of growing up in the church, Elder Reid decided to walk away from God and the calling that was on his life. It is nothing short of the mercy and grace of God that he returned to God and rededicated his life to Christ at the age of twenty-three. Unable to avoid the obvious calling to ministry on his life, Elder Reid accepted the call and was ordained as a Minister on September 7, 2013. He was later elevated to the office of an Elder on February 26, 2024.

Elder Reid graduated from Sheridan College where he studied Community and Justice Studies, spending many years working in the Correctional field with both youth and adults. Minister Reid currently attends Seminary at Canada Christian College where he is studying Theology and plans to pursue his Masters in Divinity.

On November 1st 2013, Elder Reid joined Samantha (Lewis) Reid in Holy Matrimony. They have been blessed with three children Soraiyah, Serenity, and Judah. His wife Samantha is active in music Ministry and has proven to be a loving, supportive wife to him and their children throughout the years.
