President and CEO of D. James Kennedy Ministries (DJKM) — Senior Pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church

Rev. Robert J. Pacienza is President and CEO of D. James Kennedy Ministries (DJKM). The Board of DJKM named Rev. Pacienza to that role in June 2022. He has also served since 2016 as Senior Pastor of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church (CRPC) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Pastor Pacienza, who became a believer in Jesus Christ while a teenager at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church, was later mentored by the late Dr. D. James Kennedy, the founding pastor of CRPC. He earned his Master of Divinity at Knox Theological Seminary and is now completing his doctorate in ministry at Westminster Theological Seminary. His philosophy of ministry as a pastor is best summed up in the vision statement at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church: “we exist to equip Gospel-centered, culture-shaping Christians.” Robert is the author of the forthcoming book, The Hope Of The World: Christian Cultural Engagement in a Secular Age. Pastor Pacienza and his wife, Jen, live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with their children, Preston and Lydia.
