A native of Lithonia, Ga., Pastor Reginald Wayne Sharpe, Jr., was born February 18, 1991, into the family of Reginald, Sr., and Fay Phillips-Sharpe. He has one younger brother, Brandon Sharpe.

 Pastor Sharpe, affectionately called, “Pastor Reggie,” is a 2013 graduate of Morehouse College. He graduated Cum Laude with departmental honors in the disciplines of religion and philosophy. While attending Morehouse, Sharpe served as the president of both the Martin Luther King, Jr., International Chapel Assistants Program and the Omicron Delta Kappa Leadership Society. He won the 2012 Otis Moss, Jr., Oratorical Contest, was voted Religious Leader of the Year for two consecutive years, and was named the 2012-2013 Martin Luther King, Jr., Scholar. Pastor Sharpe is also one of the proud charter members of the Academy of Young Preachers. Among his many distinctions, he is a member of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Currently, he is attending Vanderbilt Divinity School in Nashville, Tennessee, pursuing a Masters of Theological Studies degree.

 Although Pastor Sharpe is mostly known for his preaching ministry, those closest to him know that he loves spending time with his family, laughing with his friends, and finding delicious seafood or soul food to enjoy. Sharpe is a faithful member of The House of Hope Atlanta (Greater Travelers Rest) in Decatur, Ga., where Dr. E. Dewey Smith, Jr., is the Pastor/Teacher. Most importantly, he is an humble child of God who seeks to reach people with love and to minister to them with head and heart. Pastor Sharpe’s favorite poem is called, “I’d Rather See a Sermon‚” by Edgar Guest. One line reads, “And the lecture you deliver may be very wise and true, but I’d rather get my lesson by observing what you do. For I may misunderstand you and the high advice you give, but there is no misunderstanding, how you act and how you live.” In the winter of 2015 Pastor Sharpe will be marrying Brianna Sullivan, his gifted and beautiful fiancée.
