Ronald Kessler

As a young boy, Ron would harmonize with his twin brother and later his love for music quickly became a huge part of his life. For over 25 years he was on stage in his 5-man, 50’s and 60’s cover band, Holiday Five. The band was famous for entertaining crowds at wedding receptions, bars, and special music venues around New Jersey and Pennsylvania.

After coming to faith in Jesus, Ron directed the adult choir at Nassau Christian Center, Princeton, NJ and assisted his wife in the Children’s Ministry with various productions and the children’s choir. Later, he was a part of a gospel trio called Just His. They recorded several albums over the years and would bring joy through music to many audiences at churches and conferences.
