Rick Rouse

Lead Pastor

I grew up in Endicott NY and graduated from Union Endicott HS. After I graduate I attended Eastern Nazarene College and graduated with a degree in Social work. Following my graduation my wife and I moved to New Paltz NY where she completed her degree in Music therapy. While in New Paltz we lead the teen group and it was in New Paltz we felt God called us to pastoral ministry. After Pam graduated we headed for Kansas City to attend Nazarene Theological Seminary. Our first assignment after seminary was to plant a church in Amherst NY (we were there 18 years) and following Amherst we helped revive a church in Akron NY (we were there for 24 years and helped plant 6 new churches) That bring us to the next stop in ministry Brockport FMC.
