Rob Duford is the founding pastor of Orlando North Church. He has served in various roles in the church world – youth pastor, young adult pastor, internship director, and now, lead pastor. Rob was born and raised in Midland, Michigan and unfortunately developed a die-hard passion for University of Michigan football. He did his undergraduate studies at Lee University and later completed his MBA from Regent University and his Masters of Biblical Studies from Reformed Theological Seminary.

In 1994 Rob did the most courageous thing of his life when, at Lee University, he asked a girl way out of his league on a date, and shockingly she said yes. Rob and Melanie have been married for twenty-five years and spend much of their free time succumbing to the schedules of their two teenage kids.

The passion of Rob’s life and ministry is to spread the message of the hope found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ particularly by living a life centered on bringing fame and glory to Him.
