Ray Boltz (born 1953 in Muncie, Indiana) is a former contemporary Christian music singer-songwriter, whose songs often told stories of faith and inspiration. He was raised by his parents William and Ruth Boltz, and was married to his wife Carol for over 30 years. After the release of his last album in 2002, and his last tour in 2004, he retired from the music industry and moved to Ft. Lauderdale, FL. In September 2008, the Metropolitan Community Church announced that he would be giving two concerts at MCC venues in Indianapolis and Washington, D.C., with proceeds to benefit the new direction his musical career was taking.
