Ron is from southern Ohio and had a military career in the USAF. He has a Bachelors in Education and a Master of Ministry from Point Loma Nazarene University, and he pastored 10 years in Tucson and Yuma, Arizona. He is passionate about loving and serving God wholeheartedly; he provides support, care, and counsel to people struggling with life’s challenges as our Pastoral Care pastor at Calvary and through Chaplaincy with Integris Healthcare.

A multifaceted vocal artist, arranger, and educator, Dr. Jim Graves serves as Director of Choral Activities at Southern Nazarene University since 2008. He directs the University Singers, SNU Chorale, and Concert Choir. He also teaches courses in music theory, music education, and private and group voice. Graves has led groups at the National ACDA Convention, at the Jazz Education Network National Convention, has presented interest sessions at the National and regional level of the American Choral Directors Association, and was formerly the Southwest ACDA Jazz R & S Chair.
