Bob Orner

About me

Introduction Raised in East Africa Bob’s life was marked by adventure and diversity. As the child of career missionaries he developed relationships with people of African, Arabic, Asian, Australian, and European decent. This experience built in him a love and an appreciation for cultural, ethnic and socioeconomic diversity. God used this story to build in Bob a passion to equip leaders for the global community who are Biblically and theologically grounded, Gospel motivated and culturally intelligent. Bob is an ordained minister in the Presbyterian Church in America and has served churches in United States for over 25 years. He planted a church, helped start several church planting networks. He continues to serve as a part-time church planting coach, consultant and trainer. Bob served as Dean of Students and Guest Lecturer in Practical Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary Orlando before becoming the Senior Pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. He and his wife Chris have been married for 28 years and have one son Taylor, who attends Vanderbilt University.
