Richard Barcellos

Richard C. Barcellos, Ph.D., is pastor of Grace Reformed Baptist Church, Palmdale, CA (www.grbcav.org), and author of The Family Tree of Reformed Biblical Theology: Geerhardus Vos and John Owen–Their Methods of and Contributions to the Articulation of Redemptive History published by RBAP and The Lord’s Supper as a Means of Grace: More than a Memory, forthcoming by Christian Focus Publications and Better than the Beginning: Creation in Biblical Perspective, forthcoming by RBAP.

Ronald Baines

Ron was raised in a nominally Roman Catholic home but at the age of 13, when his parents divorced, he gave up any church attendance at all, rejecting Christianity wholesale. After graduating high school he entered the US Navy where he was exposed to the Gospel for the first time in his life. Hearing of the deity of Christ turned him around and a few months later he came to saving faith. On a short term (8 month) mission trip to Zambia in 1979 he met Joan Thompson from western Canada and in 1980 they married. Ron’s first pastorate was in Westfield, Ma., in 1989 and in 1992 he came to fully embrace the Doctrines of Grace and the 1689 Confession of Faith. In addition to Westfield, he has pastored in Worcester, Ma. (with Mike Renihan) and since 2004 Grace Reformed Baptist Church of Topsham, Maine. Ron holds a BS in Computer Science, MAR from Reformed Theological Seminary, and is a PhD Candidate at the University of Maine.
