Our Leaders

Pastor Ron Dawkins

is a native of Philadelphia, PA. He is the founder and lead pastor of Saved by Grace Worship Center. He is known for his warming, welcoming, passion for helping people.

He has a powerful life-changing testimony, and his ministry is deeply personal. His actions, not just his words serve as his greatest testimony. His love for people and his community is always top of mind. From having bible study in his home, ministering to Philadelphia Police Officers as Chaplain President of the 25th Police district, to helping drug addicts get clean. Pastor Ron is dedicated to the great Commission of Christ. He encourages his church family to “take church outside and exemplify Christ by meeting the needs of the poor, the sick, and brokenhearted”. He is passionate about unifying the Body of Christ as he collaborates with local churches and organizations to activate change in his community, Pastor Ron is truly the definition of Leading by Serving.

Pastor Loretta Dawkins

is a Philly native also. She served alongside her husband in ministry and leadership of the church for 30+ years, before the Lord called her home in October 2024. A graduate of Temple University, Pastor Loretta was deeply passionate about teaching the Bible. She expressed the importance of being knowledgeable Christians, who know their God, and understand the authority given to us. She dedicated her life to equipping her church family with biblical truths. She loved uncovering prophecy, end times, & the rapture; she used her gift of teaching to simplify the most complex parts of the bible. She was a humble leader, loving wife, prayer warrior, and a mother to an entire community!
