In 1975, working in the corporate world of New York City, the Lord mercifully saved Ron Shinkle. Shortly thereafter, the Lord led him to Grace Theological Seminary where he received his Masters of Divinity Degree. In 2003 he graduated with a Doctorate from Grand Rapids Baptist Seminary. Dr. Shinkle has been pastor at Lemoyne Baptist Church since 1986, where he has enjoyed preaching the whole council of God's sovereign grace as taught in His inerrant Word and declaring Christ as both Lord and Savior. At Lemoyne, fellowship and relationships are encouraged where there is an expression of genuine biblical love and concern for ones spiritual journey. Holiness of life is emphasized through the power of the Holy Spirit. He and his wife have three married daughters.
