Rev. Kyle Reaka began serving Evangelical United Church of Christ in October 2024 and was installed as Senior Pastor in April 2025. He brings a deep love for people, a passion for preaching, and a vision for a church that is radically welcoming, justice-centered, and rooted in grace.
Originally from Southern Illinois, Kyle was ordained in the United Church of Christ in 2023. He holds a B.A. in Philosophy from Murray State University and a Master of Divinity from Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary.
Kyle has ministered in churches across Kentucky, Missouri, and New Jersey, and spent time as a seasonal ministry volunteer in national parks. He’s especially passionate about LGBTQ inclusion, creative worship, and meaningful, down-to-earth preaching.
Outside of ministry, Kyle enjoys video games, time with loved ones, and exploring life’s joys and questions.
