Pastor Reg Dunlap first came to Second Baptist Church as a conference speaker in 1971. He accepted the call to become Senior Pastor in 1996. In addition to his role as Senior Pastor, he directs an international ministry, the Evangelism For Christ Association, which functions as a servant to the local church in the areas of evangelism, revival, missions, and Gospel literature distribution. His website, "Sermon Seeker", provides free sermons to pastors in third world countries who have had no theological training.

After more than fifty-three years since preaching his first sermon, the passion that burns for the communication of the Gospel is still alive within his soul. He continues to be a faithful student and proclaimer of God's Holy Word into the seventh decade of his life, completing his Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Theology just a few years ago. His desire is to continue to be used by God in the work of the ministry, to lead people to faith in God through Jesus Christ, and to equip them to become mature believers.

Pastor Reg was ordained to the Gospel ministry in 1960 following his graduation form Gordon-Conwell Seminary's Master of Divinity program. He and his wife Ellie were married in 1957 and reside in Westerly, RI. They have two grown children.
