Pastor Ronald G. Garrett
Not only caring about my spiritual being, my Pastor, Ronald Gene Garrett, has really impacted my life as a young man by being an awesome role model. Through leadership, he has always leaded and instructed me down the right paths.

Ever since then, he filled that void of a father I never had. Every boy wants that fatherly, manly figure in their life, and he was that figure that I would just watch and want to be like after that day. He never did “go throw the ball out back” with me, he is a very busy man, but to know he loves me and cares what I do with my life, is enough to fill that void in my heart. To this day, I consider him to be my “real”
