About Me

Hello, my name is Ricky Bybee.  Originally from Indiana, I retired from the United States Navy in 2003 in Norfolk, Virginia, and moved my family to East Palatka, Florida in 2010.  My wife Jo and I serve at Trinity Baptist Church where I am the Associate Pastor.  I perform visitations serving  families and patients throughout our County, meeting them where they are, whoever they are,... at their homes, at hospitals, ministering to children as I conduct Chapel where my wife teaches Kindergarten, Hillcrest Academy, and in nursing homes, when called upon as well as serve Putnam County families in bereavement on the staff of a local funeral home.  I also been a volunteer as an "on call" Chaplain at Putnam Community Medical Center, and a volunteer Chaplain at the Roberts  Care Center, Haven Hospice.

Favorite Bible Verse

One I go to almost daily and often multiple times, Psalm 46:10 "Be still and know that I am God", I have a problem being still and need reminding constantly, ask my wife.

Favorite Hope FM Song

Favorite Song is a song that defined my calling to Christ in 2011, my Saul to Paul moment, calling me to the ministry--Christ showing me His greatness, His will and His way,.... "Keep Making Me" by the Sidewalk Prophets.
