Meet the Pastor

Meet the Pastor


Hi, I'm Pastor Ron — and I mean it when I say I'd rather sit down and have a conversation with you than have you sit through a formal introduction.

I've been serving as pastor here at Messiah since 2017, and if there's one thing I want you to know about our church, it's this: faith isn't meant to stay inside the walls of a sanctuary on Sunday morning. It's meant to show up in the everyday — in how we treat our neighbors, care for one another, and remind each other that we're loved by God, not because we've earned it, but because that's simply who He is.

I believe church is less about a building and more about a people — and that the truest measure of our faith isn't how many of us show up on a Sunday, but how we live the other six days of the week. Some of my favorite moments as a pastor haven't happened in the pulpit at all — they've happened over coffee, around a table, in someone's living room, in the ordinary places where real relationships get built and real life gets shared. That's where I believe faith actually takes root.

My road to ministry wasn't a straight line, either. I spent about 15 years working in civil engineering before God called me into pastoral work — and I'm originally from the Chicago area, with stops near Cleveland, St. Louis, and New York City along the way before landing here in Colorado. All those years and places taught me a lot about people, problem-solving, and how much I love being part of a community — lessons I carry with me every day at Messiah.

I am passionate about building a church that feels less like an institution and more like family — a place where you're welcomed exactly as you are, wherever you're at.

I'm married to Darci, and I have two kids, Emma and Jack. Emma now leads our music ministry, which is a joy to watch.

Outside of church life, you'll usually find me with a guitar in hand or just spending time with my wife.

If you're new here or just checking us out online, I'd love to meet you — not just on a Sunday, but any day. Come as you are. We'd be honored to walk this road with you.

Get to Know Us

At Messiah Church, our purpose is simple: to honor and glorify the Triune God by living out His will together. We seek to share the hope of Jesus Christ with our community and the world, to grow in faith and unity as His people, and to walk in love and fellowship with one another. We want to be a place where God’s Word is preached, His grace is received in the sacraments, and His people are encouraged and equipped to serve. Whether through worship, teaching, or lending a helping hand, our desire is that everyone would experience the life-changing love of Christ.

God’s heart is full of love for every person in this world. Even though we are broken, often turn away from Him, and can never earn His favor on our own, His love does not stop pursuing us. Out of that great love, He sent His Son, Jesus, to step into our world. Jesus came to embrace the hurting, forgive the guilty, and rescue those who could never rescue themselves. In Him, the unlovable are cherished, the undeserving are welcomed, and the ungodly are made new.

Through His suffering and death on the cross, Jesus took our place and paid the price for every person throughout all time. In Him, forgiveness and eternal life are a gift, freely offered to all. When the Holy Spirit touches our hearts with this Good News, we receive the very life He promises. It is God Himself who works faith in our hearts, and through Jesus we are set free, forgiven, and welcomed into His family forever.

At Messiah, everything we do flows from the love of the Triune God. We rejoice in God the Father, the Creator of all things, who lovingly gives us life and daily sustains us. We trust in Jesus Christ, the Son, who stepped into our world, took our place on the cross, and rose again in victory over sin, death, and the devil—bringing us hope and eternal life. We rely on the Holy Spirit, who works through God’s Word and Sacraments to create and strengthen faith in our hearts. Together, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are one God—equal in glory, united in love, and eternal in being. 

Our teaching can be summed up in three simple yet life-changing truths:  Grace alone – God’s love is a gift we don’t earn.  Faith alone – We receive His promises by trusting in Jesus.  Scripture alone – God’s Word is our sure foundation and guide. 

Here, we don’t just study these truths—we live them, celebrate them, and invite you to experience them with us.

We believe the Bible is God’s inerrant, infallible and trustworthy Word. Through its pages, God speaks with truth that never fails and love that never ends. In Scripture, He shows us both His Law—which reveals our need for Him—and His Gospel—which proclaims the good news of salvation through Jesus Christ. The Bible is more than an ancient book; it is living and active, guiding us in faith and life today. For us, it is the foundation and standard for all that we believe, teach, and practice.

For over 2,000 years, people have wrestled with one of life’s greatest questions: “Who is Jesus?” Though we weren’t there to walk the dusty roads of Galilee with Him, the Bible gives us a clear and powerful record of His birth, His teachings, His miracles, His death on the cross, and His glorious resurrection. At Messiah, we believe this question isn’t just about history—it’s about hope, purpose, and eternal life. 

By gathering for worship, joining in Bible study, and allowing the Holy Spirit to work in our hearts, we can discover together who Jesus is and what He means for us today. We invite you to come explore this life-changing question with us—you may just find that the answer changes everything.
