Ronald A. Critton is the Senior Pastor of Beth TeHillah Ministries.

A born-again child of God, he accepted Christ on Oct. 9, 1983. In November 1987, he accepted his call to Ministry and has been “a preacher and teacher of the Gospel” since.

Dubbed “Obadiah,” which means “servant of the Lord”, Pastor Critton is a man of conviction, who preaches and teaches the Word of God.

When asked once what was the source of his commitment, Pastor Critton quotes two Scriptures: “And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that He counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry,” (I Tim. 1:12), and “for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day,” (II Tim 1:12b). He further explains: “God is committed to me. God trusts me with the Word. I can trust Him with anything that concerns me – ANYTHING!”

Pastor Critton has a passion for organizing and supporting Prison Ministries, and  is faithful in ministry and dedicated to the cause of Christ.

He is the father of seven children: Jasmene, Joshua, Ruth, Jeremiah, Esther, Joel and Job.

Pastor Critton was married to the late Muriel Smith for 28 years. In June 2017, he wed Sabrena Washington, who serves alongside him at Beth TeHillah Ministries.
