Pastor Rippert Roberts, Jr                        
Two passions have directed the life and ministry of Pastor Rip Roberts: an unwavering commitment to the practical communication and application of God's Word and an untiring devotion to seeing lives transformed by God's grace. Rip has devoted himself to these goals and he models the contagious joy that springs from enthusiastically following Jesus Christ. For over two decades God has allowed Rip to pour into the lives of people as a pastor/teacher, chaplain, and conference speaker.

Call to Ministry
During his final tour of duty in the United States Marine Corps, Rip recognized that the Lord was calling him to devote his life to the gospel ministry. With the prayers and support of his wife and teammate Michelle, Rip has devoted himself to the challenge of communicating biblical truth and it’s practical, real life application in the context of God's grace.

He has been a featured speaker for the Iron Men Ministries® Men’s Conferences and the founding director of Joshua’s Challenge, a contemporary ministry on mission to reach a new generation with the message of the gospel and to building bridges connecting this culture to Jesus Christ in a biblical relevant and non-judgmental way.
