Dale Partridge is an American reformed theologian, pastor, and author. He is the lead teaching pastor at King’s Way Church in Prescott, Arizona, the President of Relearn.org, and Founder of Reformation Seminary.
Early Life and Education
Partridge was born and raised in Southern California, where he graduated High School and went into business for himself, starting several companies in his twenties. He left the business industry in 2017 to pursue a career in ministry. In 2018, he enrolled at Western Seminary, where he earned a Graduate Certificate in theology. Partridge conducted further studies at The Master’s Seminary but did not complete a degree.
Career
In his early days, Partridge pursued a baseball career, which ended early due to an arm injury. He then switched to entrepreneurship and eventually founded Thresh Hold Rock Climbing Gym in Riverside, California, in 2005. In 2011, Dale founded the e-commerce Sevenly.org and, in 2014, StartupCamp.com. At Sevenly, he experimented with social/charitable cause-based business ecosystems by using art and fashion to raise funds and awareness for a new charity every week. In 2012, the business model of Sevenly was featured in Entrepreneur magazine.
Partridge has been featured in various business and editorial publications, including the cover of Entrepreneur and Inc. magazines, Mashable.com, Forbes, the Los Angeles Times, and People magazine. He has also appeared on FOX News, and Today.
Prior to entering into the ministry, Partridge was a business author. He wrote “People over Profit,” published by Thomas Nelson, which became a Wall Street Journal bestseller. The premise of this book has been widely seen in his TEDx talk given in 2015. Also, published by Thomas Nelson, were Partridge’s “Launch Your Dream” and “Saved from Success”
Ministry
Partridge leads a digital ministry, Relearn.org. that aims to strengthen biblical and theological literacy in the church. In addition, Partridge hosts a weekly podcast, Real Christianity. In 2019, he spoke out against mental illness in the pastorate after his friend and fellow pastor committed suicide. Dale has also been a voice against the transgender movement’s influence on children. In 2022, as an alternative to Drag Queen Story Hour, Partridge hosted “Pastor Story Hour” in his Arizona hometown. That same year, he released a children’s book, “Jesus and My Gender” where Partridge affirms the biblical model for gender. He has also been outspoken about traditional male and female roles in the church, as well as a proponent for headcoverings for women during worship. Since 2023, he has been the lead teaching pastor at King’s Way Church in Prescott, Arizona, which holds to the Westminster Confession of Faith.
