HOMETOWN HERO:
By Scott Cutlip CONTRIBUTING WRITER
LOCAL PASTOR CASTS LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS
RONNIE DEAL Ronnie Deal didn’t set out to be a pastor. In fact, he went to college in pursuit of a business degree. However, his father died during his junior year in college, and that redirected Deal’s life. After his graduation from Lenoir-Rhyne University, where he played on the football team, in 1980, he attended Southwester Seminary in Fort Worth. He went on to be a youth minister in Fort Worth and in Charlotte, North Carolina. That was when he came to Greenwood to become the senior pastor at First Baptist Church, and he’s been here roughly 20 years. John McKinney, owner of 4Mac Inc.
