by Rick Duncan, Cuyahoga Valley Church – Founding Pastor
It’s rare for one family to be faithful, loving, joyful participants of one church for 30 years. Yet that has been the blessing Cuyahoga Valley Church has known because of the Cleveland family. We celebrate the Fruit of New Life we see in them.

We celebrate their faithful commitment to the Bible as the Word of God and as the truth.
SERVANT
We celebrate their service in several areas:
- Worship Arts (vocal team, choir, and handbell choir)
- Elder Team
- Compensation Team
- Search Team Chair,
- Missions Development Team
- Finance Team

INVESTOR
We celebrate their generous giving at Cuyahoga Valley Church and beyond for three decades.
DISCIPLER
We celebrate their involvement in LifeGroups.
MISSIONARY
We celebrate their commitment to pray, give, and go as evidenced by their initiating the construction of a hospital for the Nzema people in Ghana, West Africa.
Ron and Jo have had distinguished careers in medicine in Northeast Ohio. We now send them as missionaries cleverly disguised, with our blessing, to North Carolina where Jo will continue in an exciting new season of her career.
Our hearts are full of praise to God for you. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.
Soli Deo Gloria,
Your Cuyahoga Valley Church family
