Leadership

Our leaders are everyday people who love Jesus and love this community. We’re here to serve, shepherd, and walk alongside you as we follow Jesus together.

“Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment.”

MATTHEW 22: 37-38

Mission & Vision

John & Kristy Camp,
Senior Pastors

Pastors John and Kristy have been Senior Pastors at RLF for over 30 years. Previously, they served as Youth Pastors and elders for 10 years, investing deeply in the next generation. Both John and Kristy are natives of Central New York, called by God to minister in their community. They were trained and educated in Pastoral Ministry through Elim Fellowship, where they hold their licensing and ordination as ministers.

Pastor John teaches the Word with wisdom and experience, while Kristy is an exhorter of the Word and prophecy. Together, they are visionaries of God’s Kingdom, committed to raising up and releasing His people. They have seen God touch countless lives and transform the church into a thriving, family-centered community. Their growth in God’s Word, combined with decades of life experience, has seasoned this couple in ministry and leadership.

Pastors John and Kristy also minister internationally. One of their passions is the David’s KidZ Sponsorship Program, born from a God-given dream to give hope and a better future to children in need. They carry a message of encouragement, restoration, healing, freedom, empowerment, and destiny.

Married for 50 years, they’ve raised 5 children to know and love God and are now pouring their hearts into 18 grandchildren. In their free time, they enjoy outdoor activities, reading, movies, and spending time with family.
