Trey Moss - Youth Minister

Email Trey

 Trey Moss was born in Oklahoma City in 1989. Shortly after that he was adopted by Rod and Lori Moss of Vinita Oklahoma and has been their best-looking son (only son) ever since. The Moss Family attended the Church of God in Vinita, where his grandpa previously was the pastor, until he was four years old when his family starting attending the First Baptist Church in Vinita in 1993. They have been active members ever since.

Trey was active in the children's and youth ministries until his graduation in May 2008. Trey then went to pursue a degree in Music Composition at the University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma. 

Trey had always knew that the Lord had special plans for him just like all Gods children, but it wasn't until college that Trey began to desperately seek Gods will for his life. It was in his first semester in college that Trey began to have a deeper relationship with God that was previously unknown to him. It was in the deepening relationship that Trey started to ask God to give him an opportunity to serve Him.

Trey is overjoyed that his gracious God has answered his prayers, and given him an opportunity to serve him in a place that is near and dear to his heart, the youth ministry of First Baptist Church Vinita.  

Trey wants the youth here at First Baptist to realize that God desires a deep personal relationship with him, and has a special plan for their life.

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

-Romans 8:28
