He is an ordained minister of the Reformed Church in the United States. He has served in the Reformed Church since 1983. He began his pastoral ministry by pioneering a new work in Carbondale, Pennsylvania, where he labored 13 years before coming to Grass Valley. In January of 1995 he accepted the call to organize a Reformed Church in Grass Valley. He moved here with his family in July of 1995. He and his wife Julie, who is a surgical nurse at a local hospital, celebrated their 30th wedding anniversary on August 20, 2007. They have four children, Josiah (29), Abigail (27), Esther (25), and Joanna (22). Pastor Roe's ministry reflects a strong commitment to Biblical expository preaching, teaching line upon line and precept upon precept, and counseling by making application directly from the Scriptures. Having served in Viet Nam as a combat infantry soldier, where he was twice awarded the Silver Star for heroism, he is actively involved in a number of veteran associations. In particular, he serves as Chaplain for the 4th Cavalry Association. In this capacity, he conducts a memorial service at the 3/4 Cavalry's reunion held every other year and he occasionally writes a column in the 3/4 Cavalry's quarterly magazine, MacKenzie's Raiders. Pastor Roe also serves as general secretary of Westminster Biblical Missions, Inc. He has served in this capacity for over 16 years. This service involves overseeing all WBM's mission fields and missionaries which includes fields in Korea, Central and Eastern Europe, Mexico, and two fields in Pakistan. He has traveled to all of these fields. NOTE: See the Westminster Biblical Missions web page for more information. E-Mail:
