Our Pastor
Pastor Ron DeMoss leads the Mapes Baptist Church family. For the last 13 years, he faithfully served alongside his beloved wife, Linda, who went to be with the Lord on July 27, 2025. Together, they built a legacy of grace, compassion, and unwavering dedication to God’s Word. Pastor Ron continues that mission today, bringing heartfelt teaching and pastoral care rooted in Scripture while guiding us through the challenges of life with hope and faith.
