Bob Rurka

Elder

How long I've been attending CCFS and my role here:
I have been a member of the Calvary Chapel Affiliation since 1982.  Served as a deacon at Calvary Chapel Kingman Arizona Active in missionary work at Calvary Chapel Phoenix North, Senior Pastor at Calvary Chapel Yarnell, Az.  I attended Calvary Chapel Bible College and Trinity Bible College and Seminary. Masters Divinity School, certified as a geriatric chaplain. I have been a member of CCFS for about 3 years and an elder for a few months.

My role as an elder is to come along side the pastor and elders in prayer and counsel as needed.

How I came to know the Lord:
I came to Christ as an altar boy in a Polish Catholic Church in which the masses were in Latin and the sermons were in Polish, of which I knew neither and therefore could only pray, pray and pray some more.

Favorite Bible Verses:
Proverbs 21:23 of which I have trouble with.

Favorite worship songs:
"Trust and Obey"

Favorite quotes from Pastor Pat's Sermons:
"All  in or all out"

Side note:  At this time I am retired from active ministry and tend to raising and nurturing my three great-grandchildren (ages 2-11 and homeschool )whom we have adopted.  A ministry to the fourth  generation WOW!!
