A word from Pastor Terry 

Donna and I are very excited and thankful to be a part of the Ruffin Stacey Baptist Church family. My philosophy of ministry is very simple, Love God-Love Others-Make Disciples. Consider this your personal invitation to join us and experience first hand what God is doing at RSBC.

"Miss Christie" leads our Next Generation Ministries at Ruffin Stacey. She has been at Ruffin Stacey since 2008 and came on staff in 2014 as the Director of Children and Youth.

Jody has served as the Ministry Assistant at Ruffin Stacey since August of 2021. However, her ministry to the church has extended much longer than that.

She has also used her experience to serve on various church teams and committees. Serving God and growing His Kingdom is what she enjoys most about her ministry at Ruffin Stacey. She has one son, Cody, and she has been married to her husband Mike since 1991.
