Ronald L. Moore, Sr. sees every thing in life as an
extension of his personal ministry. He uses his formal training, knowledge
and spiritual connection as the foundation for his business endeavors
and relationships. Training in graphic design at Philadelphia College
of Art(currently University of the Arts) is where his odyssey began.
Ron continued his education, achieving a Masters in Divinity from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky.
Working in Louisville General Hospital as a chaplain during his Clinical
Pastoral Education course was a life changing experience. There he developed
a well-rounded view of ministry. He observed human pain and suffering
in an up close and personal way. It left an indelible impression that
affects the way he sees life and ministry. Observing operations, touring
the morgue and watching as someone passed away changed his perspective
on life's priorities. His passion is teaching Christian adults to raise
their social conscious level; making a difference in the church and
the world. Ron is following his own vision, a rare thing in today's
society.
WheretoWorship.com is the next logical step for Ron after having served as managing editor
for The American Baptist Newspaper while in Louisville. It is
the 100-year-old communications arm of the General Association of Baptists
in Kentucky. One of the highlights of his service there was an interview
with the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legend, Little Richard, who
proved to be very sincere about his religious convictions. That newspaper
included a directory of member churches called, Where to Worship. The
concept stayed in Ron's subconscious through the time he spent in service
with the American Friends Service Committee. It stayed there as he began
to operate his own enterprise, The Omega Group Concepts III, which he co-founded with life long friends, Brian Lancaster and the late Linda
Nickens. It lay there dormant until it surfaced one day as he was preparing
to attend a youth conference. While moving around the house that day,
he passed his computer and heard a voice saying, "Where To Worship.
Com." The rest is history.
Ron also operates The Alphaomega Group, Inc. It is an outgrowth of Ooopz.com and serves as an umbrella for new enterprises and ideas. Alphaomega
offers marketing, consulting and management services. Where to Worship.com
was originally the religious center on Ooopz. Because of the promotional
services as well as the management and consultation services of The
Alphaomega Group, it outgrew the space and needed its own site.
Presently it is a growing national directory of churches and information
center. Where to Worship also provides affordable web development services
for churches. Alphaomega is making its services available to businesses
both on and off the Internet. The affiliation between Ooopz and Where
to Worship still exists and there is an icon that links to Where to
Worship from the Ooopz.com website.
Amazingly, Ron is
the core of all these enterprises and they are experiencing phenomenal
growth. He started with the Omega Christian Fellowship and used
that as a basis to bring his religious intentions into the business
world. The musical ministry of Keith Green influenced Ron. He
thought that bringing a similar sincerity and earnest manner into entrepreneurial
ventures might get things moving and shaking. He was correct. His business
has gone global in a very short period. He believes that offering regional
directories of specific products and services will help people make
more efficient use of their time surfing the Internet. Where to Worship.com
and Ooopz.com are auspicious beginnings.

To those who inspired, encouraged and assisted Ron in bringing this
vision to reality we
say "thank you".
