Ric is the Equipping Elder / Pastor at the Beacon in Orange, CA. He also serves at the Chaplain for the Orange Fire Department and leads the city pastor’s movement called One Church in Orange. His prime directives come from John 13:35 “by this all the world will know you are my disciples, if you love one another” (Francis Shaffer calls this the “Final Apologetic”) and Ephesians 4:11-13 where Paul says the purpose of the Ekklesia is to “equip the saints” for unity and maturity in faith. Ric and Carolyn have been married for over 20 years and have young adult children... Keziah attends Westmont College and Nathan finishing high school and his Eagle Project at the same time.
