Rafael (Ralph) LaGuardia - Pastor

Pastor Ralph is a graduate of Trinity Baptist College in Jacksonville, Florida, where he earned his BA in Church Ministries. He received an MA in Bible from Bob Jones University and his M.Div. from Greenville Presbyterian Theological Seminary.

Ralph has served as a youth pastor, a church planting intern, and has pastored in both the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church and the Presbyterian Church in America before coming to Fairfield, where he served as Interim Pastor for a period of time. The congregation was praying for the man of God’s choice to fill their vacant pulpit. The Pulpit Committee prayed through 56 Ministerial Data Forms and resumes from applicants for the position, and God clearly led them to our new pastor, for which we truly praise Him for His goodness and leading.

Ralph and his wife, Robin, have three children.
