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.  My family is one of my biggest joys in life. I have been with my husband Jim for over 30 years. 4 amazing children call me mom and 2 fabulous grandchildren call me grandma.  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 MT in 1983, I am the oldest of 8 siblings. I have 3 brothers and 5 sisters. I lived in Bozeman for 3 years, moved to Belgrade MT lived there for 9 years where we went to the BAC, I was saved at 6 years old in Sunday school, I loved to go to sparkies. When I was 12, we moved to Willow Creek MT to live on a farm where I spent most of my childhood. when I was 14, one of my five sisters went to live with the Lord she was 1 year and ½ old when she passed, her name was Hannah. At the age of 19, I met the love of my life; We dated once and 3 days later he asked me to marry him. We got married 2 months later, July 4th, 2003, at BAC. We then moved to Las Vegas where he was stationed in the Air Force, there we had our first and only daughter Sara in 2004, and then 14 months later our first son Kade in 2005. We lived there for 2 years then decided to move home. We ended up in Great Fall MT where we had our 3rd child, son Keith in 2007. We lived in Great Falls area for 16 years. Then after my husband put in his 20 years of Military service, we moved home to be closer to family in 2022. WE have been attending BAC since we moved home.
