Wade Morris

Wade Morris (born c. 1970 in Birmingham; died August 3, 2021 in Birmingham) was an itinerant Baptist minister.

Morris earned a bachelor's degree in business finance at Samford University and a master's in divinity from Southwestern Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. He worked as a youth pastor at several churches before he, "surrendered to a full time call to itinerant ministry," as he described it.

He founded Wade Morris Ministries and produced six volumes of "The Journal" Bible study series, originally distributed on compact disc and later as downloadable audio.

Morris was also an avid distance runner, having completed "nearly 20 marathons," according to an obituary.

Shortly after speaking to hundreds of attendees at the Falls Creek Youth Camp in Davis, Oklahoma in early July 2021 Morris contracted COVID-19 and was hospitalized with pneumonia related to the disease. He died in intensive care on August 3. He was survived by his wife, Deborah, and two daughters, Eden and Trinity.
