Pastor
Ronald J. Winston
Pastor Ron is a native of Oakland California, he attended the local church in his neighborhood. At age 16 he came home from church and told his mother that he was going to be a preacher.
But it was not until 1981 when he gave his life to the Lord while stationed at March Air Force Base in Riverside California. Three months later he was reassigned to Lakenheath AFB, in England. It was there he met his mentor, Pastor Arnell McSwain. From 1982 -1990 he received formal training in the ministry. Recognizing the anointing on his life, Pastor McSwain appointed him to various positions in the church. He was the head Deacon, Sunday School Superintendent and Sunday School teacher for the adult class. During this period, he was licensed to preach the gospel by United Gospel Fellowship. As Associate Pastor, he continued his pastoral training program, there he learned how to effectively start, build, and maintain the local church.
After his tour in England, he returned to the United States to Texas. There, he, and a friend started a service on base, he served as the Assistant Pastor.
After ministering in Texas for fourteen years, he moved to Las Vegas, NV. After visiting Calvary Southern Baptist Church for 6 months, he joined the membership in 2001 under the leadership of Pastor Jaffus Haley Jr.
From 2001 – 2020, he served as a Minister on the ministerial staff at Calvary, He also served as the Vacation Bible School Director and the Director of the Sunday School Adult Department. Pastor Ron and his wife RoSand have been married for fourteen years.

First Lady
RoSand Johnson-Parker
I am truly honored to be the First Lady at Calvary Southern Baptist Church. Under the leadership of Pastor Jaffus Haley, Jr., Calvary became my home church in 1997.
I accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior as a young child. At the age 12, I rededicated my life to Jesus during Vacation Bible School at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, where I lived with my family.
As a child, I was baptized at Penick Methodist Chapel in Indianapolis, Indiana by my grandfather, Rev. Frank M. Webb. When I joined Calvary, Pastor Jaffus insisted I have a “full immersion” baptism. So in 1998, he baptized me by immersion.
My undergraduate degree is from Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee, where I double majored in Business Management and Psychology. Additionally, I have a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from NOVA Southeastern University.
After 30+ years working in education across multiple states, I retired as a school administrator from the Clark County School District (CCSD) in Las Vegas, Nevada. I still support CCSD by occasionally substituting as a school administrator.
As a leader at Calvary, I am Director of the Greeter Committee and Director of the Community Engagement Committee. I am an active member of the Women's Sunday School and Bible Study classes and I have assisted with the Technology and Beautification Committees, as well as, worked in the Nursery, chaired the Refreshments Committee during Vacation Bible School (VBS), taught a VBS children's class, and participated in church leadership and Discipleship Trainings. Additionally, I am a member of the National African American Fellowship (NAAF) first Ladies Network.
As the First Lady, I am committed to supporting my husband in his duties as Pastor and to the members of Calvary. God bless you!
