Rev. Ralph O. Wagner has been our Interim Pastor since April 1st, 2025. Ralph is a member of Grace United along with his lovely wife, Susan Lemons. As we move into our relationship with Pastor Alex, we are looking at various ways Ralph can continue to bless us with his gifts.

Ralph was ordained into the American Baptist Churches of the USA at the age of 23, just south of the New York border at the First Baptist Church of Ulysses, Pennsylvania. He has served as a Pastor for approximately 40 years in Churches located in New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey.

Thank you, Ralph!!
