FBCL has had the privilege of having Ronnie as their senior pastor for over three decades. His unwavering commitment to counseling and supporting families is evident in the ministry that the church offers. In the coming years, Ronnie will be retiring from the senior pastor position to become the full-time counseling pastor and head of our on-campus counseling center. He is the proud husband of Telesa and together they have three children - Kirby, Cole, and Annalyn. Recently, they have become grandparents, and they couldn’t be more excited about it!

Chase has been a valuable member of the pastoral staff for over 5 years. Initially hired as the Student Pastor he later transitioned to the role of Associate Pastor and now Co-Pastor. He has been receiving guidance from Ronnie in preparation for becoming the senior pastor when Ronnie retires and becomes the counseling pastor. Chase brings a wealth of knowledge and administrative skills to the pastoral staff. He is happily married to Annie and they have two children, Tripp and Brooke. They also recently welcomed a furry addition to their family named Ruby!
