Pastor
Rick was ordained in the Wesleyan Church in 1978. He
served on the pastoral staff of Christian Fellowship
Church from 1981-1992 as the church grew in average
attendance of 350 to nearly 2,000. In 1990, he also
served as church planter founding a church in Leesburg,
Va.
In 1992, Pastor Rick became senior pastor of College Church in Marion, Ind., the campus church of Indiana Wesleyan University. Under his leadership, the church flourished by going to multiple services and grew to over 500 in attendance. In 1996, the Lord led Pastor Rick and his family to Sturgis, Mich., where he served as senior pastor leading a church averaging fewer than 300 to over 600 in average attendance. In 2001, Pastor Rick became district superintendent of the Kansas district of the Wesleyan Church. The district planted a new church each year of his leadership. Pastor Rick has also been certified as a senior consultant for New Church Specialties.
On March 1, 2007, Pastor Rick and Sharron became grandparents for the first time. This placed into motion a God-given desire to return to North Carolina and be close to family. Sensing the direction of the Lord, Pastor Rick and Sharron moved to Raleigh as Pastor Rick began his ministry as lead pastor on August 1, 2007.
