Meet The Pastor
Senior Pastor Ron Stribling
Pastors Ron and Pam Stribling serve as Senior Leaders of a powerful Five Fold Ministry and church staff at DCI. Pastor Pam helped to found Discovery (which began as Word of Faith church) in 1982. Pastor Ron is originally from the Atlanta Area and pastored a church there. He and Pastor Pam were married in 2004 and initially led both the church in Atlanta and Discovery here in Jacksonville. After praying extensively, they decided to focus their efforts on Jacksonville.
Pastors Ron and Pam believe that Jacksonville (home of Marine Corps base, Camp LeJeune) is a strategic location with Apostolic potential to reach the world. Men and women are stationed at Camp Lejeune from all over the nation and then they are reached through the gospel, equipped with God’s Word and Spirit and then sent to release God’s Kingdom in the earth!
Discovery Church International, reflecting Pastors Ron and Pam’s diverse background, and its unique setting, has a strong “Word of Faith” emphasis, with an Apostolic/Prophetic anointing. The result is a “Word and Spirit” church that experiences and demonstrates the Supernatural Presence and Power of God. Jesus Christ is King and His Kingdom is testified to through the operation of the “Gifts of the Spirit” including healing and miracles.
