Ruth Campbell

Pastor (with responsibility for children, the farm and economic justice, events, and general inquiries)

Ruth joined Cedar Ridge in 2010, attracted by the honesty, warmth, and lack of “religion” of the members. She is inspired by the vision of a community following Jesus together, working as agents of love, peace and hope in the world. Ruth was born and raised in England before moving to the Caucasus, where she taught Theology and led a student ministry team. Escalation of conflict in the region led to her shifting into work with refugees. From there she moved to Africa to run refugee camps and food distribution programs, and to promote inclusive economic development. She met her husband Ben in Angola, and they have two children, now in college. After 20 years in international development, Ruth joined Cedar Ridge staff in 2016. She enjoys hiking, cooking, reading, and hanging out with family and friends.
