RON GANNETT, SENIOR PASTOR

Ron and Susie moved to SaddleBrooke in March of 2011 to become the Lead Pastor of Community Church. He was as surprised as anyone that God would take him to Arizona to extend his career. Hailing from Alabama and spending most of his career in Canada, he is delighted to invest these years helping people finish well. Susie leads in-depth studies of the Bible for the women of the church.
Ron received his Master of Theology from Dallas Theological Seminary and Doctor of Ministries from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in Deerfield, Illinois. He was later graced with an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Briercrest College and Seminary. His ordination took place in 1975 and Ron has been involved in pastoring churches for almost 50 years. He spent most of his career (21 years) in Burlington, Ontario, shepherding the good folks of Park Bible Church.

ROGER SIMMONS, EXECUTIVE PASTOR

Roger and Karen moved to SaddleBrooke in December of 2019 and joined Community Church shortly afterward. Roger and Karen met in England when Roger was stationed there with the USAF. They’ve been married for 50 years and have three children and 5 grandchildren. During his career in the Air Force, Roger felt God leading him to become a Pastor, so he stepped out in faith. Roger has been an Executive Pastor at several churches and worked with ministries that reach out to orphans and neglected kids in third world countries and to international students coming to the USA to study in our colleges and universities. Roger's email is ccsb.roger@gmail.com
