About Reggie Coates

Reggie has a love for God and others that is contagious and touches people’s lives in a powerful way. Through his passionate music and stories, he refreshingly encourages others to an active faith, revitalizes joy, inspires transparency, renews hope and draws us to a loving relationship with God. Whether it’s in a concert, teaching music, leading worship or sharing from God’s Word, Reggie puts a focus on the priority of knowing God through Jesus Christ. With a balance of skillful artistry, human experience and spiritual truth, he lives out the verse from Psalm 33:3, “Sing to the Lord a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy!”

Reggie resides in Danville, California, with his wife and two boys. He has been actively involved in music ministry for over 30 years. Although he has believed in God all his life, he accepted Jesus as his Savior and Lord at the age of 12 through seeing Jesus alive in his youth pastor. This has caused a main theme in his life to be “Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Col. 1:27). Stemming from his relationship with God, the Mission Statement for his life and ministry is to lead others toward intimacy with God.

Along with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Music and a Teaching Credential in Music Education from San Jose State University, Reggie graduated from the Pastoral Training School at Peninsula Bible Church, Palo Alto, under Dr. Ray C. Stedman, and is a licensed minister. He has taught music in public and private schools (elementary through college), ministered as a Youth Pastor (Jr. High age through college age) and as a Worship Pastor. He is the Executive Director of Heartfelt Music Ministry, is an Adjunct Professor at Bethany University, and is the Moderator for the Christian Fellowship Discussion Forum at www.guitarnotes.com. He is currently on staff with Creekside Community Church as the Pastor of Worship & Arts.

He has led music and worship at many conferences such as Mexico Outreach through Azusa Pacific University, Spirit West Coast, Youth Specialties’ National Youth Workers Convention, National Network of Youth Ministries, NAMM Show, Christian Musicians Summit, Mount Hermon Christian Conference Center, Hume Lake Christian Camps, Forest Home Christian Conference Center, Mount Gilead Bible Camp, Christian Artists Europe and many other Christian organizations. He was the featured acoustic guitar instructor at this year’s Worship Gathering National Conference in Arizona. He continues to sing and teach at conferences, church retreats, youth events, worship services, outreach events, and music festivals.

As founder of the Christian Guitar & Bass Conferences, each year he leads guitar and music workshops to train others in ministry. He has 12 recordings with his most recent entitled Here to Worship.

About Heartfelt Music & Ministry

Heart to heart and person to person, Heartfelt Music Ministry touches lives for Christ in a unique way. This exciting ministry has a high spiritual impact, drawing many to a closer relationship with God and developing healthy worship practices, skillful and faithful musicians, and loving relationships throughout the Body of Christ. Our goal and Mission Statement is to lead others toward intimacy with God through quality worship leading, concert artistry, training & coaching, and motivational speaking. In a nutshell, we exist to support, and equip the Body of Christ.

Twenty years ago, this ministry started as Heartfelt Music & Creations. Then in 1999, we became a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization and changed the name to Heartfelt Music & Ministry, Inc. (AKA Heartfelt Music Ministry). Through quality music and teaching, we are here to serve you and enhance your ministry. Please, let us know what we can do to help.

Joining the Support Team

PRAYER SUPPORT: With the many aspects of such a diverse ministry as this, we need help in a variety of areas: administration, promotion, data entry, volunteer help, etc. But the most significant way you can help is through prayer. We need lots of prayer! We know activities are hollow unless they are filled-out with God’s Spirit. We would really appreciate your support through regular prayer.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT to Heartfelt Music Ministry is a wise investment. Our mission of “leading others toward intimacy with God” is the thrust of God’s heart. This gives us our compelling vision to use quality music, worship leading, training, and motivational speaking to encourage, inspire, and equip each person to draw closer to God. The effective use of your donation causes timely productivity in bringing this vision to fruition. Please consider a one-time gift or regular contribution to Heartfelt Music Ministry which is tax-deductible. As Paul said to the Philippians I say to you, “I thank my God for you all, in view of your participation in the gospel from the first day until now (Phil 1:3 & 5).”  Thank you for considering investing financially.

We would be honored and so grateful for you to choose us as your ministry/missions organization in giving regular financial support. Since we are a nonprofit 501(c)(3) ministry, your tax-deductable gifts propel this ministry and open doors for international support of other missions organizations (as we’ve been involved with Mexico, Russia, Albania, Canada, and the Netherlands). We’ve been asked to be involved oversees, but most organizations are unable to pay anything (one example is Mexicali Outreach through Azusa Pacific University). Thank you for your timely consideration. If you have any questions, email us or call (925) 206-9895.
