Church Leadership & Ministries
Senior Pastor
Rev. Dr. Ray A. King
On October 7th 2018 the Rev. Dr. Ray A. King mounted the pulpit of the Bellegrove Missionary Baptist Church of Syracuse New York to deliver his first sermon as the newly elected Senior Pastor. Dr. King’s primary focus at the “Grove” was clearly relayed to the members on that Sunday, “It’s time to reposition, rebuild and relaunch!” Indeed, this is a fresh start for our church under the leadership of Dr. & Lady King. Dr. King is the biological father of seven children and He is also the spiritual father of many sons and daughters. He is also the Establishmentarian & the Senior Presiding Prelate of R. King Ministries Ecumenical & Interdenominational Fellowship; an alliance for Kingdom minded churches, ministries, ministers and Christians at large
