Bill Reeves
Favorite Core Value: Create an Extraordinary Impact – We serve an extraordinary God who deserves our all. He allows us to create, produce and share media with His life-changing message.
Bill Reeves joined Educational Media Foundation as CEO in 2019 with more than 30 years of experience in Christian media.
At age 15, he felt a calling on his life to share Christ with the world, and by age 18, he identified the path by which he’d do it.
“I knew my calling was to use music, movies, and books as my pulpit,” Bill explains. “So, I set out to tell the world about Jesus through entertainment.”
Bill’s passion and professional experiences align perfectly with EMF’s mission to create compelling media that inspires and encourages audiences to have a meaningful relationship with Christ.
Bill and Heidi, his bride of 26 years, relocated from Nashville to Northern California to live near EMF with their teenage son, Denham. Their older children, Julianna and Jon, reside in Tennessee near the family farm where they were raised.
