Minister – Ron Collins

Ron Collins has been the minister at Sepulveda Church of Christ since 1974 with his wife Judy Collins. Ron was raised in the town of Kingsburg, CA where he was born and then later in Tulare, CA where he graduated high school. He then attended the Fresno Bible Preparatory to begin training to become a minister. While attending the Fresno Bible Preparatory, he also began his college studies at Fresno City College. After completing the bible training work in Fresno, Ron was hired to be the full-time minister at the Church of Christ in Lynwood, CA. After about a year in Lynwood, the opportunity arose at the Sepulveda Church of Christ. He moved north to the Sepulveda congregation where he has been ever since. While at Sepulveda, he completed his master’s degree in family counseling at California State University, Northridge. Ron and Judy raised their sons, James and Brian, in the community, where they graduated from Van Nuys High and also graduated from California State University, Northridge.

Ron continues to work diligently at the church, where he can regularly be seen pulling weeds, picking up trash, talking to neighbors, studying scripture, counseling those in need and stepping up to do whatever needs to be done to keep the building operating and the church doors open.
