Dr. Patricia Ruthford
Apostle & Founding Pastor

Born in Toronto, Canada, Pastor Patricia is a unique, modern-day Esther who, with ultra-sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, has faithfully stood “in the gap” for the people of God over the past 55 years. She is an intercessor, protector, warrior and defender in the Lord. Her international apostolic anointing has led her into relationships with many political figures and church leaders. She has also established numerous churches and preached the Gospel through crusades held in nations including Europe, Africa, Central America, Latvia, Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Moldova, India and China.

During the 1970's, Pastor Patricia held evangelistic and healing meetings in churches throughout the United States and Canada. She was also on the pastoral staff of one of the largest charismatic churches in Southern California. In addition to establishing churches in California and Nevada, she founded the largest Spirit-filled church in Salt Lake City, Utah and led the well known Holy Spirit Conference in that State. In 1980, she and her late husband, Pastor Douglas Ruthford, founded Christ the Rock Fellowship Full Gospel International Ministries. She continues to be a strong leadership voice to the Body of Christ and especially to Christ the Rock Fellowship.

Pastor Patricia received her degree in ministry at Melodyland International Bible School in Anaheim, California and holds an Honorary Doctor of Ministry degree from Vision International University in Ramona, California. She also serves as the Missions Representative for the Northwest Region of The Full Gospel Fellowship; and as the President of Hope International School of the Bible, a ministry of Christ the Rock.
