Ron Schnarr is a minister along with his wife Mary Schnarr at the Church of Truth in Louisville Kentucky. The Church of Truth is a non-denominational church under the Teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg and was founded by His Prophet and Servant Edward Miller and his wife, the Prophetess and Servant Virginia Miller. Ron was an ordained minister receiving His Masters in Divinity at the Bryn Athyn Theological School of the General Church in 2010. After a series of life changing events Ron was lead by the Lord to leave the ministry with that church and move to Louisville with his wife in 2016 to join what he considers a new movement of the Lord in the earth. He is excited to see how the revelation of the Teachings of Emanuel Swedenborg are really being lived here and people who were in the spiritual gutter are being lifted out to become strong forces for good in the world. He believes it is truly an exciting to be alive and to see how the Lord is moving here at the Church of Truth!
