Ric Vargas (N/A–N/A) is an American preacher whose ministry has been linked to evangelical Christian circles, notably through his association with Pinecrest Bible Training Center in Salisbury Center, New York, a ministry founded by Wade Taylor with a focus on spiritual renewal. Specific details about his birth, early life, or formal education are not widely documented, but his sermon at Pinecrest in 2008, titled a "powerful and relevant word" on true revival through God’s Word, suggests a preaching style rooted in biblical exposition and a call to authentic faith. Converted to Christianity, likely within the charismatic or holiness traditions given Pinecrest’s context, Vargas has been noted for challenging misdirected focuses within the church, such as seeking sensational revivals over scriptural grounding. Vargas’s preaching career includes this notable appearance at Pinecrest, where his message was praised for its depth and urgency, urging listeners to covet a "hearing ear for the voice of the Lord." Beyond this event, there is little evidence of a broader ministry footprint—no widely available sermon archives, books, or extensive itinerant preaching records exist under his name in major evangelical sources like SermonAudio or church directories. His influence seems tied to specific revivalist settings rather than a sustained pastoral or public ministry.
