Alabama Bound
We are off this week to Sweet Home Alabama and the Southside Baptist Church in Gadsden for a DNow. Glad to have our pal Jeff Capps flying in from Dallas again to be with us. Pray for us as it is a long, long drive and a lot of great youth!

About the Band
Take a few people who love music and love Jesus, throw in a lot of love for young people, shake it up a little bit, throw in a little ministry with Dr. Alvin Reid for good measure, and you have a ministry to students ready to meet with God and interact with the culture. Finding Madison consists of a group of folks, most with ties to Southeastern, all tied together by our faith, our interest in music and the arts, and a love for students and for Cosmic Brownies (ask us about that one). The band started at a youth camp with the Madison Street Baptist Church in Starke, Florida (hence the Madison part of the name). We do a truckload of ministry with Dr. Alvin Reid, who teaches at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary and Southeastern College at Wake Forest, which by the way is another place we met. We try not to take ourselves too seriously and enjoy having a good time, but we also take very seriously God and His Word and His great Gospel.We are just getting started and already have a full calendar which we see as another example of God’s blessing. If we are coming to where you are, know we cannot wait to meet you and are praying you will be changed. If you want us to minister in your area, see the contact page and let us know!We believe there are more students today hungry for God and for truth, for real faith, than there are people ready to challenge them. We believe young people want depth over fluff and real life more than rote religion. We believe a generation of students — this generation of students –can change the world. We believe God’s Word has the answer to every big question people face. We believe God is in the business of changing lives by His Gospel, and by His grace uses folks like us in that process. And, we believe music has been given to us by God as a means for all the above.
To contact Dr. Alvin Reid and/or the band about DNows, rallies, and camps, go to www.alvinreid.com and write to Doc Reid at the Contact page. Here is a little bio on the band members:
josh reid– joshua.reid@sebts.edu
. Josh has been Doc Reid’s son his entire life, imagine that. Josh plays drums and loves his Tar Heels. Josh is a freshman at Southeastern College at Wake Forest.
kyle webb kyle@kylewebb.com
Here is Kyle Webb. He is happy because he is eating a cosmic brownie. Kyle is studying for his MDiv/Counseling degree (we need someone with counseling training) at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary. Kyle plays electric guitar and keys and is a guru of sound.
josh hicks josh@mynatch.com or myspace.com/joshuahicks
Here is Josh Hicks. We have two guys named Josh. Josh plays bass guitar and keeps us on our toes with his quick wit. Josh studied at Southeastern College at Wake Forest before transferring to UNC Greensboro where he graduates in May.
Jeff Capps has ministered with Doc Reid numerous times over the past several years. He just married his sweetheart Blair. Jeff is from Wake Forest and graduated from Southeastern College, but he and Blair now live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Jeff has his own ministry and is one of the most thoughtful worship leaders you will meet. Check Jeff’s ministry out at jeffcapps.com or myspace.com/jeffcapps.
Chad Lister graduated high school with Josh and now is a freshman at Wake Tech. Chad leads worship at the contemporary service at Richland Creek Community Church in Wake Forest. Chad was one of the core leaders of One Way Up for years. To see more about Chad go to myspace.com/chadlister.
Jessica Ray is a remarkable young song writer and musician. Jess went to high school with Josh and Chad and has ministered with Doc many times. She is currently a student at Wake Tech. Jessica has her own band as well, so check her out at www/jessicalyndonray.com.
We also do some ministry with Eddie Berrios, a new SEBTS students who hails from Orlando.
And let’s not leave out Hannah Reid, who does a wonderful job in so many ways, helping with the T Shirts and books, and more recently using her talent in media and arts (and in the days to come her very cool Nikon camera), as you will soon see. Hannah is a great blessing. And although she likes to be very much behind the scenes, Doc and the band could not do what they do without the wonderful support of Michelle, Doc’s wife of 26 years and band mom!
To contact Dr. Alvin Reid go to alvinreid.com. Doc, as he is affectionally called, is not officially a member of the band, but he does about
75% of his ministry in churches with these guys he loves so much. We make a pretty good team in service to the Most High. Here he is with his two children. Michelle, his amazing wife of over 25 years, is the most faithful prayer partner of Finding Madison.
