Meet The Pastor

Hi, I'm Pastor Ron — 

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.
