In 1998, Pastor Rangaraju experienced a baptism by the Holy Spirit, leading him to a clear understanding that complete dependence on God, rather than personal intellect, was paramount.

Pastor Rangaraju is married to Sis. Glory Rani and they are blessed with a daughter and a son.

In 2003, Pastor Rangaraju was ordained as ‘Reverend‘ by the Billy Graham Evangelical Association, and in 2008, he received an honorary ‘Doctorate‘ from A.P. Theological Seminary.

In 2010, the Vizag City Pastor’s Fellowship honored Pastor Rangaraju with the title ‘Kristu Seva Ratna‘ The title is not a mere symbol; it is an acknowledgment of his tireless efforts to spread the message of faith in only the Living God Jesus Christ and uplift communities by saving their lives out of sins through his sermons anointed by the Holy Spirit.

In 2019, he was bestowed with the title ‘Bishop‘ by the A.P. State Pastors Fellowship and A.P. Theological Bible College.
