Reign Hamilton

Summary
I am a Spirit-led youth pastor passionate about helping students move from a basic understanding of faith into a vibrant, Kingdom-focused life with Jesus. I lead middle and high school students into deeper discipleship, teaching them to hear God’s voice, walk in the Spirit, and live on mission. I blend biblical theology, historical insight, and practical application in a way that connects with both unchurched youth and mature believers.
I create teaching series, retreats, and ministry rhythms that foster authentic encounters with God while also developing leaders and volunteers. Currently, I’m writing a memoir-style book to equip young adults to pursue the Holy Spirit with boldness—sharing my story and practical tools for walking in spiritual gifts, taking risks in faith, and finding healing after church hurt. My heart is to see a generation become grounded in the Word, filled with the Spirit, and fully alive in the Kingdom of God.
