Our Team

I hate name tags.  I hate them because they always seem like a superficial barrier.  I prefer to ask a persons name, to take the time to get to know them and hear their story.  I hate politics of any kind and administration leaves me braindead, although I enjoy leading.  I laugh a lot and warm to a good story.  My greatest joy is being a father and husband.  I love being a pastor and shepherding my flock.  I believe the preaching of the Word of God is by far the greatest calling a man can have.  I am more comfortable in blue jeans than I am in a suit.  I love the outdoors and the musky smell of a library.  Those who know me say that I am an aesthetic and a scholar pretending to be a regular guy.  Visit Pastor Ron's Blog

I wake up each day in awe that our amazing God would use me in a small way to share His gospel message with others. I am blessed to serve here at BAC by discipling children, youth and  their families, as well as supporting our outstanding team of interns  & amazing volunteer team. I have worked in children’s ministry in various capacities for over 20 years.  I am a simple person. I don’t get excited about material things, and value experiences over things. Moments that take my breath away are what I treasure. Time outside hiking, biking, camping, fishing, kayaking & traveling on mission, are how I relax and spend my free time. I have a heart for service, wear many hats, but most importantly, I am a life changed by Jesus.

Hello there! What can I say except my life has been changed forever! I met a king who died for me. But get this, He came back to life! Conquering death once and for all! Absolutely insane! The king has called me here to Belgrade Alliance all the way from Cincinnati Ohio. I grew up as a homeschooler who loves stories, games, music, and the great outdoors. Since moving to Montana, I’ve grown closer to Jesus, attended college at Montana Bible College, and married my beautiful wife, Shaina. I also really like books, let me know if you have any good recommendations. Also, I love student ministry. We have a blast at The Anchor and Beyond! If you are in middle school or high school, you should stop by, our team would love to get to know you!

This probably comes as no surprise, but I LOVE music!  All kinds of music! I love the way music can transport us to somewhere else and evoke strong emotional responses from us! Our God created music for His worship and I am BLESSED to be able to participate in this creative medium! My other passions include running long distances on trails and Star Wars (didn't see that coming did you)!I  I love  being a hubby, a daddy-OH, and a Papa!! I can be quiet and reserved sometimes, well ok not too many times, and I can laugh loud and long (my family would agree with the last one more).  I like to have fun but also crave those alone times where it is just God, me, and a trail winding up into the mountains!  

I was born in Bozeman, Montana, and am the oldest of eight siblings. My family includes three brothers and five sisters. We lived in Gallatin County for most of my life, where we frequently attended the BAC.  In 2003 My husband and I relocated to Las Vegas, Nevada, so he could serve in the Air Force.  As he was stationed there, and we began our journey together in this new city as part of his military commitment. After our time in Las Vegas, we moved to Great Falls, Montana, following his reassignment within the Air Force. Each move brought new experiences and challenges as we adapted to different communities and environments. Upon completing twenty years of dedicated military service, my husband retired from the Air Force.  We made the decision to move back home in 2022. The primary reason for this move was to be closer to our family, as we wanted to provide a supportive and nurturing environment for our three children. Being near loved ones became even more important as we focused on raising our family together.
