Ron has served in pastoral ministry for 28 years in two different legacy churches.  Recently he left the ranks of professional clergy to support a grass roots network of organic churches in the Delaware Valley.  As a marriage and family therapist, he maintains a private practice in Mt. Laurel, NJ while serving as hospice chaplain for Holy Redeemer Home Care in Bucks County, PA.  This year Ron met with simple church leaders in Germany, Ireland, England, Tanzania, South Africa, Rwanda and Uganda as well as the US to meet simple church leaders in different settings.  Committed to getting church outside the walls to where people live their daily lives, raising the bar of discipleship while lowering the bar of how we do church, he belongs to Panera Bread Church in Moorestown and was the founder of Pizza Church in Mt. Holly.  He has a passion to link simple (tabernacle) church with big (temple) church.  Ron sees small churches organized organically with shared leadership and without the burden of property, program or parsons as a way to reach the dedicated de-churched.
