SOUND/MEDIA/IT MINISTRY LEADER
James Richards III
James Richards 3 was born and raised in Wichita, Ks, by James 2 and Teresa Richards. Pastor Don Duncan married my parents and dedicated me as a baby. We attended Calvary Chapel Hillside, the first Calvary Chapel in Wichita that Don Duncan established.
Then, we started going to Cornerstone Fellowship Church where my dad got me involved in helping set up the stage and tear it down weekly at the age of 7. By the time I was 12, I was helping regularly with the sound ministry.
In my later teen years I fell away and started exploring the world, and making some poor decisions. I was confronted about my sin, but I was not ready to deal with it at the time and left the church to avoid the issue.
I went back to my parent’s church, Calvary Chapel Fellowship, and a short time after was preparing for my first child, Amaris. Pastor Wayne Cash confronted me in a very helpful way with Christ’s grace and after Biblical premarital counseling, Samantha and I married were married.
James 3 has been serving in the Sound, Media, and IT Ministries since 2018, now has three beautiful blessings from God.
“You create the environment / set the tone for people to encounter Christ.”
