Ronnie & Deborah Waldrop
Directors of Connections
Ronnie & Deborah Waldrop have been a part of our Legacy family since April 2021 and stepped into the roles of Connections ministry directors in April 2026 after faithfully serving this ministry for many years. They both truly have hearts for people as evident by their years of involvement in feeding the homeless through Lambs with Ladles, a Legacy ministry that concluded in 2025 after years of service to Church Under the Bridge in San Antonio. Their hearts to serve are felt by anyone who is greeted in the Legacy parking lot (by Ronnie) or at our front door (by Deborah).
The Waldrops ultimate goal for our Connections ministry is to have every one of its members “partner with the Holy Spirit in such a way that God’s presence is felt by everyone who comes to Legacy Church. We don’t want people to wait for worship or a message to feel the presence of God, but rather to feel His love for them from the first encounter with any of our team members as soon as they arrive! This type of connection with people helps our church family to grow and serves to bring more people to Jesus.”
Ronnie was born in Ft. Worth and Deborah in Harlingen when their paths first crossed in 1981 at a basketball tournament in Amarillo. They reconnected at a costume party in San Antonio later that year and the rest was history! Since their marriage in 1982, the Waldrops have lived in Pipe Creek, Green Forest (AR), and currently reside in Cibolo. They have one son (Jessie), one daughter (Ashley), a son-in-law (Diego), and two grandchildren (Grayson and Penelope).
Ronnie is retired after working over 40 years in the Commercial Waterproofing and Building Sealant industry. He has a passion for youth sports ministry having coached both volleyball and basketball in the 1980s and 90s. He also loves fishing, gardening, and the outdoors.
Deborah is retired from her days as an administrative assistant for Wells Fargo SVP (2001-2008) and Denny’s Den-Tex Franchise (2009-2019). She loves sewing, baking, and reading up on whatever her latest project requires. She and Ronnie also love spending time with one another and their family.
