Rick Smith | Executive Pastor

Ordained through Redemption Ministerial Fellowship international, Elder Rick and his wife Judy have been in covenant with Apostles Ron & Hope and RWOC for 12 of the majority RWOC’s existence. They spent the 25 years prior to joining RWOC running a successful business venture, teaching, and raising their 3 children while maintaining a heavy involvement in volunteer church work.

In January of 2000, Apostle Ron asked Rick to take over as leader of the Elder ministry. This led to an offer to come on board in 2001 as a full-time employee to help Apostle Ron oversee the 200 employees, 150 ministries, and over 10,000 members.

Eventually, Judy made the decision to give up her teaching career to come to the aid of her husband at RWOC.

Today, Rick is the Executive Pastor at RWOC. He has oversight of all Executive and Support Staff as well as the pastoral duties and ministries of the church.

Rick and Judy count it all joy and a tremendous honor to have been chosen by God and Apostles Ron and Hope to fill this vital role in such a special local body of believers.
