Extending Hope to All

A seasoned and experienced leader, Richard now devotes himself to caring for the souls of others. You will frequently hear him remind others: Caring for their souls isn’t selfish. It’s essential! Familiar with adversity and challenges, his strength and resilience result from HOPE discovered through submission to God’s purpose, and a deep confidence that God is active and present in all areas of our lives—in good times and not so good times. Richard is the Director of RPM (Richard Parrish Ministries), overseeing the ministry’s outreaches locally and globally. He attends to RPM’s mission through writing, speaking, and mentoring. His compassionate heart and authenticity resonate with people. One minister said: "Richard is a father figure, a pastor to pastors, and a 'shepherd to shepherds.'" Richard is a father and grandfather and lives in sunny Glendale, Arizona, with his wife Vicki and two adopted dogs (George and Gracie). He’s always up for a round of golf and enjoys a hot cup of coffee. He’s quick to tell others that the coffee keeps him caffeinated for their benefit.
