Prior to joining the Pastoral team at Saddleback, and WV, Reward served as the Engagement Pastor and the Young Adults Pastor at both Pearl Street Church in San Antonio, and Crossroads Church in Duncanville, Texas.
An engaging communicator with a unique cultural lens, Reward loves and lives to tell engaging stories centered around the Kingdom, and the redemptive power of the Imago Dei as expressed through different cultural contexts and frameworks.
