Interim Pastor Dr. Bob Schomp and Associate Pastor Ronny Nowell


Ministry Team

BOB SCHOMP -- We are delighted to welcome Dr. Bob as our interim minister.  He will lead us through the transition following the 15 year ministry of Rev. Chris Pulliam until a new senior minister is called. 

Dr. Bob was born and raised on the west coast.  He earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Chapman University, a masters of Divinity from Texas Christian University, Brite Divinity School in 1963 and his Doctorate from Brite in 1990.   Bob has served a number of Disciples congregations in Texas over the years, including a recent interim ministry at First Christian Church of Fayetteville.

Bob has been happily married to Nancy for 47 years.  They have four children and seven grandchildren.

RONNY NOWELL grew up in Abilene and Wichita Falls, Texas.  He received his Bachelor of Social Work degree from Midwestern State University in 1991.  The emphasis of Ronny's studies were in drug and alcohol abuse counseling.  After a year of internships at local and state hospitals, Ronny chose to go into the ministry.  He earned his Masters of Divinity from Brite Divinity on the TCU campus in 1995.

Ronny has been active leading youth ministries since 1991.  His love for young people and vision for helping to raise a new generation of faithful Christians keep him focused in that direction.  Coming to First Christian in June of 1998, Ronny has successfully grown a flourishing youth program, Cross-Training.  In addition, he has led several mission trips and shares in all ministries of the church.
