Our Leadership
Bishop Ron Stringfield
Senior Pastor
A native of Waverly, VA. From a young age, he was devoted to the gospel and by divine appointment he followed the ordered steps of God when he acknowledged his call into the ministry at the age of nineteen. In 2001, Pastor Stringfield began fulfilling his call to the ministry when he planted his first church Perfecting Saints Worship Center.
He later founded and currently serves as Senior Pastor of Kingdom Harvest Church in Atlanta. Although Bishop Stringfield was raised in a moderate sized Apostolic Church under an extremely strict Pentecostal traditional system, he escaped the limitations of tradition to widen his spiritual parameters to reach people of varied backgrounds and cultures. Bishop Stringfield's ministry uniquely promotes reconciliation, redemption, son-ship, leadership and message of the Kingdom, which definitely crosses denominational and social lines. His God given apostolic anointing to preach and teach from a Christo-centric platform has strengthened and encouraged the faith of people from across the country. Bishop Stringfield is a graduate of Calvary Bible Institute, in Washington D.C. and Virginia Seminary College, in Lynchburg Va. He is a veteran of the United States Navy where he served during Desert Storm and Desert Shield.
In January 2005, he was appointed Overseer of the Northern Jurisdiction in the Harvest Church Ministries International organization. In 2017 Bishop Stringfield was consecrated a Bishop in the Lords Church and the Presiding Prelate of Kingdom Expansion Network in Atlanta, GA. His apostolic ministry purposed him to have founded several churches in the Central Virginia region. He currently covers 7 churches on the East Coast.
Pastor, businessman, community advocate, author, coach, conference speaker and sought-after preacher, Bishop Stringfield contributes his ministry to those spiritual fathers who sharpen his life. To God be the Glory for what He has done.​​
