As one cliche puts it, 'team work makes the dream work'
We believe that leading a church forward into a fruitful future is a challenge fit for a team, not just one man or woman. Here is how our current leaders and staff bring their skills and talents in service to God for the benefit of the people of this church and this town.

Apostolic Oversight
Watford Community Church benefits greatly from the friendship and input of Ron Corzine from San Antonio, Texas. Recognizing Ron’s apostolic gifting, the Senior Leadership Team of WCC invited Ron to serve the church in this capacity in 2006.
Ron oversees Christian Fellowship International – a network of Churches in Mexico, New Mexico and Texas. He travels nationally and internationally motivating and challenging people to be effective in their call and ministry to their local church, their community, and the marketplace.
Ron's practical understanding of the Biblical principles of unity, honoring those in authority, and gaining influence through servanthood, have shaped much of his ministry.
Ron and his wife Anne were married in 1968. They have three children, five grandchildren and presently reside in San Antonio, Texas.
