OUR PASTOR
Pastor Ronald Lee Robertson Sr.
"And his name shall be called Leader, Shepherd, Teacher, and Pastor…"Pastor Robertson was
born November 15, 1960, the third of four children to the late Rev. E. B. and Gertrude (Woods)
Robertson Sr., in San Diego California.He was baptized at the age of seven and began his
service to the Lord at various churches that were pastored by his father, but his heart always
favored the Capital Missionary Baptist Church where as a dedicated young believer he worked
diligently as a member of the Junior Deacon board, Sunday school, and both Junior and Young Adult Choirs. Due to his father’s illness he became Acting pastor of the Capital Missionary Baptist Church in 1983.
Pastor Robertson was ordained in 1985 by the 4th District Association and was elected as the 2nd pastor of our flock in January 1986.He readily embraced the duties of being “Shepherd”, and began building on the foundation left in his stewardship by the church’s founder and his father, Pastor E. B. Robertson. During his tenure as our overseer, he has encouraged the membership’s spiritual growth and their work for the kingdom of God, motivated the leaders to set high standards in performing their duties for God and nurtured the auxiliaries in their early stages of development.
Under his leadership and with diving guidance our church family has made the following accomplishments:

He considers it an honor and a divine trust to be called by God to such a divine appointment as “Pastor”. Pastor’s vision for the ministry is that we move forward in the name of Jesus, and prepare Capital Missionary to receive bigger and greater blessings from God in the coming years. His hope and prayer is that in coming years he will be used by God to make the ministry grow warmer through fellowship, deeper through discipleship, stronger through ministry and larger through evangelism.
