Pastor Rickard was ordained by Pastor Robert

McLaughlin, Pastor of Grace Bible Church,
Somerset, Massachusetts in the fall of 1998.
Prior to that Pastor Rickard had been a student
of the Word of God for over 20 years. His
background was primarily focused on learning
the Word of God from the original languages of
scripture. His spiritual upbringing was based on
the teachings of Pastor R.B. Thieme Jr. of
Berachah Church, Houston, Texas and Dallas
Theological Seminary (founded by Lewis Sperry
Chafer). Pastor Rickard continues that heritage
by teaching the Word of God utilizing the I.C.E.
principle and historical grammatical exegesis
and interpretation of the Scriptures.

Free Conference Grace Offerings Accepted.

Grace offerings will be collected each night
to cover the expenses of the conference.

Prior to entering the ministry full time, Pastor

Rickard received a Bachelors of Science in
Human Resources Management from the University of Massachusetts. He held several
positions in Human Resources, including
senior level global management positions in
the High Technology, Retail and Toy industries.
