Bro. Ron Roberts and wife
Jan began their ministry at
Brindle Ridge Church in De-
cember of 1986.
Bro. Ron said, “This was a
loving church when I came and,
after all of these years, it is still
the same. The church people
welcome all new faces and care
for each person.”
A statement was made about
Bro. Ron, when he first became
pastor, by an older member of
the church who has now passed
on, Hazel Ramsey, who said “He
is a small man but he is full of
fire.” That still holds true today.
He is a loyal and dedicated pas-

church. “The Lord has really
blessed our church,” Cameron
added.
