The Rev. Ron Watts, senior and founding pastor at LaCroix Church in Cape Girardeau, has been with the congregation since it started in 1988. Since then, he's led the church to serve not only in Cape Girardeau, but around the world. Locally, the church financially supports or volunteers with the Salvation Army, Safe House for Women, Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers Big Sisters, area food banks, The Bridge -- an outreach center in South Cape -- and more. This year, LaCroix is planning missions to Haiti, Guatemala, Paris and Africa. The church also partners with churches and ministries in Russia, Mozambique and Mexico. In addition to his work with the church, Watts is active in the Cape Girardeau Area Chamber of Commerce. He's married to Linda and they have four children: Stephanie, Anthony, David and Ryan.
