Worship Leader: Paul Reeves

Paul was born and raised in Savannah, GA. Growing up, he had dreams of becoming a pro basketball player. Those dreams lasted until his second year of playing college basketball at Armstrong State University, when his interest and passion shifted towards music. Shortly after, he began writing songs and playing at Armstrong's BSU campus ministry. In his last year of college, Paul began full-time music ministry at New Creation, a church plant in Savannah, GA. That same year, his best friend introduced him to his bride-to-be, Katie. (What a great best friend!)

In 2004, Paul married Katie and moved to Atlanta to further pursue music. The year before joining the CCCC staff, he led worship at Big Creek Church in Alpharetta, GA. Paul also runs a studio, Domus, where he records artists from Rebuilt Records, an Athens-based Independent record label.

Paul and Katie are the proud parents of Peyton Reeves, their beautiful one year old daughter!
