Philp Waldrep

Phil Waldrep is an author, speaker, and the president, founder, and CEO of Phil Waldrep Ministries, a 501(c)(3) non-profit encouraging thousands each year through Women of Joy, Gridiron Men’s Conference and Celebrators Conference. Phil is a graduate of the University of Alabama and Luther Rice Seminary, where he earned his Master of Arts in Biblical Studies.

In 1984, Phil traveled to Vermont to preach in a small, rural church where he learned there was a need for pastors to have an opportunity to meet together, be taught by other Christian leaders, and be encouraged in their ministries. This trip sparked Phil’s passion for New England and in 1988, he launched the New England Pastor’s Encouragement Retreat — a three-day event to renew and refresh church leaders. Today, over 300 ministry leaders attend one of two retreats held each year.

Phil has served as the chairman of the board of trustees at Northeastern Baptist College and is the recipient of the Robert H. Brindle Church Planting Award and the Alabama Medal of Honor. In 2020, Phil was inducted into the Morgan County Leadership Hall of Fame.
