Pastor Meckley and his family returned to Ohio in 1989.  They were residing in Munroe Falls, Ohio when he was saved on Friday, July 8, 1994, and subsequently called into ministry in January 1996.

Having driven semi over the road upon retiring from the US Army, he answered the call to begin the Truck Stop Ministry at the Petro Truck Stop in Girard, Ohio, on February 4, 1996.  He answered the call to serve as the Pastor of New Covenant Baptist Church, in November 1996.

Having received a Bachelor of Theology Degree, with Distinction in Pastoral Ministry, in 2002, Pastor Meckley gives priority to the preaching of God’s Word, leading the congregation in witnessing for Christ, and developing individuals in Christian discipleship.  He recognizes the need for a church program that will assist individuals in spiritual development and will equip and release the church to render effective service in the task of leading lost people to faith in Christ.
