He is ignited and infused by the Power of the Holy Spirit! Dr. Fitzgerald A. Reed, Sr., preaches God's pure and authentic Word. A man who is unapologetic about his relationship with God. Fitzgerald loves God with all his heart and understanding and is committed to completing the assignment given to him by Christ! He is passionate about serving Salem Christian Church and faithfully goes outside of Salem Christian Church to reach the world for Christ. His purpose in life is to teach God's Word, lead God's people, and point people to Jesus Christ for salvation.

He was the firstborn of three siblings, two brothers and one sister. Since the tender age of eight, unknown to him, God innately gave him the spirit of care and leadership to help his mother care for his siblings. He came through the ancestry of his grandparents, who fervently served the Lord by using prayer as a weapon to disarm the power of darkness. His grandparents served God faithfully until they transitioned to heaven. His grandfather served as a Pastor and the grandmother as a Mother of the church. Fitzgerald is now carrying on that mantle as a Preacher, Teacher, and Pastor of God's illuminating Word. He dearly loves his family; he is a devoted father to his children, a caring grandfather of thriving, energetic boys, and a precious granddaughter.

Fitzgerald is a born-again believer who accepted Jesus as Savior and Lord in 1996. He received his divine call to preach in God's great army in 1997. He is a leader that encourages you to push beyond your limits, leading you to grow, expand, and increase in every area of life. He desires to help you become "better and not bitter." Like King David, Fitzgerald is a man after God's own heart. He believes in taking care of the spirit, soul, and body. He rises early in the morning to read, meditate on God's Word and get physical exercise. 

In 2005, he earned a Bachelor of Art in Religion from Luther Rice Seminary, was ordained as a Minister, and became the Founder, Chief Executive Officer, and Lead Pastor of Salem Christian Church. Also, in 2008, he earned a Master of Art in Leadership from Luther Rice University. Later, in 2019, he earned a Doctor of Strategic Leadership from Regent University School of Business and Leadership and became a national author with his first publication entitled, "Courageous Christian Leadership."

In his ministry at Salem Christian Church, the Holy Spirit guided Dr. Reed as the Lead Pastor, leader of the Men of Valor and Intercessory Prayer team. In addition, he served as a mentor in public school and community leader. As a result, Dr. Reed is known as a pastor, teacher, and coach. Additionally, Dr. Reed is the Owner/Insurance Broker of Reed Insurance Group and a licensed Real Estate Broker.
