JDR Ministries is the online evangelism and teaching ministry of Rev. James Dean Reeves, Minister of Rodbourne Cheney Baptist Church (RCBC) in Swindon.
JDR Ministries exists to share the good news of Jesus Christ through digital platforms including TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, creating accessible, Bible-centred content for a new generation. The ministry also provides theological resources and Bible teaching through published books available on Amazon.
While Rev. Reeves serves as a local church pastor, his primary gifting and calling lie in evangelism and youth work. JDR Ministries reflects a passion to proclaim the gospel faithfully, seeking to hold together the truth of God’s Word with the grace and compassion of Jesus, engaging those both inside and outside the church with clarity, hope, and authenticity.
I’m Rev. James Dean Reeves, a multi-cultural British minister, author, and evangelist, passionate about seeing Christ exalted and His gospel spread. Soon to be married to my Ghanaian fiancée, I celebrate the beauty of different nations and cultures while staying rooted in Scripture and evangelical doctrine. My vision is to build a church for all nations—a place where diverse cultures can encounter Jesus and grow in faith.
I serve full-time as Lead Pastor at Rodbourne Cheney Baptist Church in Swindon, where my primary gifting in evangelism and preaching comes alive. I have a heart for youth ministry, mentoring the next generation, and opening doors for emerging leaders to step boldly into their gifts and calling within the body of Christ.
I trained at Bristol Baptist College, earning a BA Hons Degree with a focus on the Book of Revelation, and I draw inspiration from thinkers like St. Augustine, whose philosophical approach to theology shapes my teaching and writing.
I am also an author of four books, designed to equip believers in faith and understanding:
Online ministry is a big part of my work. Through YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, I evangelise and teach, reaching people across the UK and around the world.
Outside of ministry, I enjoy DIY projects, carpentry, plumbing, gym training, kickboxing, films, food, and performance vehicles—activities that keep me energised, creative, and balanced.
My life and ministry are centered on one mission: to see people encounter Jesus, grow in faith, and live transformed lives. Whether through preaching, mentoring, writing, or teaching online, I aim to reflect God’s truth, love, and grace in everything I do.
