Anthony Vargas is a student pastor, author, and evangelist with a passion to help the next generation know Jesus and live their faith boldly. He has spent years leading one of the fastest growing youth ministries in Oklahoma City where he teaches hundreds of middle and high school students every week. His messages are known for being biblical, practical, high energy, and full of real life stories that connect deeply with teenagers and adults helping them take real steps toward Jesus.
Anthony is the author of Live Loud: Breaking Free from Silent Christianity, a book written to awaken courage in everyday believers and help them share their faith with confidence. Whether through writing or preaching, his mission is the same. To challenge Christians to step out of comfort and step into the calling God has placed on their lives.
He travels around the country speaking at conferences, camps, and churches while partnering with leaders to invest in students and empower them to make a difference where they are. His heart beats for the quiet Christian who wants to grow but does not know where to start.
Anthony lives in Oklahoma City with his wife Bailee and their two boys, Oliver and Judah. Outside of ministry, he loves drinking great coffee, staying active, playing board games with family and friends, and squeezing in a round of golf when he can.
