Roy Wilkinson | Senior Pastor
Pastor Roy has been in bi-vocational ministry since January 2009 when he and his wife started working in children's ministry at New Harvest Worship Center in Lake Wales, FL. By April, they were also leading a youth ministry which saw rapid growth and quickly became the passion for their ministry for the next 8 years. In October 2013, they were hired on as youth pastors for Ridge Community Church, in Dundee, FL. In October of 2017, Roy was asked to become an Associate Pastor at RCC and remained in that position until September of 2022. During this time, Roy has had a career in the fire service, serving the citizens of Lake Wales for 22.5 years. In that time, Roy served as a firefighter, paramedic, Lieutenant, and Deputy Chief. He is grateful for that career and knows that it gave him so much experience for the next chapter of his life and calling. In September, 2022 Roy was appointed as Senior Pastor of Highlands. He and his family are loving the relationships gained and the momentum of the church going forward in the vision given by God for this new season.
