Terry King has ministered full time since 1972. When the church Terry led in the early 70s began to grow rapidly, a study of the New Testament led him to a model of leadership development that produced paid and volunteer staff from within. Dozens of individuals were launched into vocational ministry all over the globe. In 1983 Terry transitioned into full time into leadership training in Zimbabwe and later in the Philippines. Since 1993 his base has been in Maryland, reaching across the USA and serving in 41 nations.

In addition to global travel, Terry’s heart for the kingdom of God motivates him to be involved in leadership in several community organizations in his home area as well.

Randall Vruggink is the founding pastor of River of God Church which started in 1999. He has had a passion for the local church since 1972 when he was filled with the Holy Spirit. He has served the church in many capacities including nursery director, deacon, elder, and home group leader. Randall worked for twenty years selling office supplies and furniture before taking on the role of senior pastor. He graduated from Cornerstone University with a bachelor’s degree of Science in 2010 and a master’s degree in Ministry Leadership in 2016.

Pastoring the local church is Randall’s true passion and delight encouraging people to find their role in the body of Christ as a releaser of the life they have received from the Holy Spirit. He is also thankful for the opportunities he has had to minister in several countries including France, Bulgaria, Germany, Zimbabwe, South Africa, and Ecuador.

Joel grew up as the son of missionaries in Cuenca, Ecuador, which played a significant role in shaping his worldview and passion for serving others. As a missionary himself since 2015, Joel has dedicated several years to serving the community in Ecuador. As an elder in the local church, he is responsible for overseeing various aspects of the church’s ministry, and more importantly, for shepherding the souls of the local church body. He currently supervises University and high school home groups, Sunday school, Worship, and the multimedia team, and helps to run the day-to-day operations of the church.

Joel is a nurse by vocation and is driven by a desire to provide healthcare to those in need, especially in a missionary context. Additionally, recently finishing his master’s degree in religion with a focus on church administration has deepened his understanding of theological principles and enhanced his leadership skills within the church community.

Finally, Joel’s wife and three daughters are an essential part of his life and ministry. Overall, Joel’s unique combination of experiences, including his background as a missionary kid, nursing vocation, and theological education, makes him a compassionate and well-rounded leader in his church community, dedicated to glorifying God and leading others toward Him.
