We are Indebted to Transitional Pastor Dr. Rev. Peter J. Lawson

Rocky River Presbyterian Church (RRPC) is celebrating an exciting time of transition. After more than 30 years of service to RRPC, Pastor Emeritus Dr. Jon Fancher took a well-deserved retirement. We are forever grateful for Dr. Fancher’s profound and positive impact on RRPC. We were thrilled to welcome Rev. Dr. Peter J. Lawson, as a Transitional Pastor who helped us pave the way and search for our next Called (permanent) Pastor. After serving RRPC in a Transitional Pastor role for more than three years, he has taken a well-deserved retirement. We are now blessed to be served by gap pastors who are helping us through the final leg of the search for a permanent pastor.

If you have questions about the Interim Pastor or want to know more about RRPC, kindly drop us a line by completing the form on our Contact Page.
