CAMPUS MINISTRY
Ron Lewis' ministry began in 1982 by reaching out to students on the campus of his alma mater, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, a ministry which soon expanded to include the other college campuses in the Research Triangle Region. Over the years, many of the students he has pastored have become successful businessmen, athletes, doctors, judges, and elected officials. In the late 1980's, the ministry grew to a point where it included an annual short-term missions program and student conference called Campus Harvest (campusharvest.org).MORE...
LOCAL CHURCH MINISTRY
Ron Lewis' ministry on the campuses eventually grew into a regional church, King's Park International Church (kpic.org), located in Durham, North Carolina. KPIC's ministry reaches not only the students of Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill, but many families and individuals in the greater community there as well. In 2000, the influence of KPIC increased as Pastor Ron pioneered the building of a $12 million, state-of-the-art worship complex with seating for 2,100 people. In the wake of the 9-11 tragedy in New York City, Ron Lewis' life and ministry took an unexpected turn. Heeding the call of God, Pastors Ron Lewis and Rice Broocks journeyed to New York City to help plant a new congregation called Morning Star New York (msny.org) in the heart of Times Square in Manhattan.

Ron received his theological training at the Reformed Theological Seminary of Charlotte, North Carolina and Orlando, Florida. Ron Lewis' most recent book Answering the Call is a very essential tool that answers pertinent questions of anyone contemplating a life of full-time ministry. His first published book is Standing on the Word, and he was also a contributing author to Living the Second Mile Life, which was the last book project of the late Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ.
