Pastor Ronda Rieves, Associate Pastor / Outreach
Email: PastorRonda@apopkacalvary.org

Ronda was born at Florida Hospital in Orlando on October 25. She grew up right here and soon met and married her best friend, Frank on April 26. Together they have two daughters, Amber and Kayla.

Pastor Ronda, Frank and their girls joined ACN in January, 1992. At that time, Ronda had a degree in Electrical Engineering/Computer Technology from ITT Tech (Mid Florida Tech) and was contemplating a career in Nuclear Medicine. Active in lay ministry at ACN, and with a love for teenagers, she came on staff "ummm...long, long ago!" as Youth Pastor.

She earned a degree from Nazarene Bible Institute in Christian Education, Youth and Children's Ministry in 2004 and was ordained at the Central Florida District Assembly in 2005.

Pastor Ronda now serves as our Outreach Pastor. Her other responsibilities include doing "anything and everything necessary to fulfill the mission of the church!" Ronda loves the opportunity to serve God by serving others; working with a great team of dedicated servant leaders; experiencing life transformation along with those we serve; and sharing in the work of the Great Commission and building The Kingdom!

Jesus Christ, her Savior; her mom, who was her mentor; and Frank, who remains her best friend (after all these years) are the most influential people in her life.

She is passionate about God and her family, and ... well ... to be perfectly honest ... since you are asking ... Dulce de Leche Caramel Cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory!

As for Pastor Ronda's hidden talents, that's for you to know and her to find out! Ha Ha!!
