Jeff is a pastor who builds. He makes the websites, apps and quiet systems churches run on, so a Sunday faith lands in a Monday-through-Saturday life. Twenty-five years in church production, communications and digital ministry, founder of Humble Disruption and theChurch.digital, and he takes on ten churches at a time.
Jeff Reed
Founder, Humble Disruption · Founder, theChurch.digital
Jeff Reed taught his first online Bible study in the summer of 2000 — 75 people across the planet, working through the book of James on a text-based system, years before "digital ministry" was a category. He's been making the message land in new rooms ever since.
At Christ Fellowship Miami he grew the production ministry from one campus to five in eighteen months and directed 200+ weekend volunteers, building experiences like Code Blue, a 7,000-seat worship night. He served as Communications Director at Austin Ridge Bible Church in Austin, then returned to Christ Fellowship as Weekend Experience Director and Online Pastor — building the web platforms, mobile and TV apps, and online small-group ecosystem.
In 2018 he founded theChurch.digital, which in 2024 became a first-of-its-kind digital missionary sending agency now equipping missionaries on six continents. Along the way he's been the digital-ministry voice for Resi and Pushpay, directed Metaverse Church NEXT for Leadership Network / Exponential, led digital church planting for Stadia through COVID, co-founded an AVL integration firm, and written two books.
Humble Disruption is where all of it comes together: Jeff builds the web and mobile apps, and the systems behind them, for ten churches at a time. He is comfortable with any API, so it connects to what a church already runs, and he stays hands-on so a pastor deals with the person who does the work. He's a TCU graduate; he married his high-school sweetheart, Amy; and they live in Miami with two kids and two dogs.
"Jeff isn't a vendor. He's a pastor who happens to build software — he understood what we were trying to do in our city before he wrote a line of code."
James Drake · Lead Pastor, Christchurch Miami
