On December 5, 2020, we are blessed to have Pastor Ron Sydney. He grew up in St. Lucia. He was called to ministry at a young age. He answered the call and went to study Theology at Canadian University College. After graduating he was called to pastor the Ephesus and Richland Churches. It wasn’t too long after his successful ministry that Pastor Ron was called to pastor the 24/7 church in Seattle Washington. Currently, Pastor Ron is serving as the lead pastor for two churches in the Detroit area, Pontiac Southside and Detroit Center.
