Ron serves as the pastor of Countryside Chapel, a new work of the Lord in Sheridan Wyoming. Though pastor Ron and his bride, Tafianne, are no strangers to Wyoming, nor to church planting. In fact, this is the 6th Calvary Chapel they have poured their hearts into. 

"Initially, it looked like we were coming along side a pastor and a struggling little fellowship, but it seems the Lord had other plans in His will for our lives."

Ordained in 2002, yet having been a part of Calvary Chapel since 1992, Ron draws from the model of ministry of pastor Chuck Smith, Calvary Chapels' founder.
As such, like many pastors from that time, "Staying The Course"  is the chosen direction for Countryside Chapel in Sheridan. 

"Simply Teaching The Bible Simply, is a principle that I have come to know, and will therefore be the continuation of my style of ministry. Being raised up under some of the best Bible teachers of our time, and we were all often made aware that the vision of Calvary Chapel could never taught, it had to be caught. I have come to understand that truth. It's more then the name on a building, it's a philosophy in ministry that gives room to the Spirit of Jesus Christ to move in His church."

Ron and Tafianne have 2 children, 5 grandchildren, and are excited to see how the Lord will use them in the Sheridan, Big Horn, and surrounding communities.
