MEET OUR PASTOR

Pastor J. Ricc Rollins, II has been preaching the Gospel since the age of 12 and stepped into pastoral leadership at just 23 years old. For more than four decades, he has served in ministry with a passion for helping people move beyond religion and into a life-changing relationship with God.
In December 2001, Pastor Ricc founded Breath of Life Fellowship Community Church (BOLFCC), a Christ-centered, biblically grounded, intentionally inclusive, and radically welcoming ministry in the Tampa Bay area. In 2011, BOLFCC joined with Prevailing Word Fellowship to form New Journey Fellowship. Following a season of prayer and discernment, Pastor Ricc launched Genesis: Orlando in 2012, which later became The Edge Community Church: Orlando. In 2013, he founded The Edge Community Church of Central Florida, where he continues to serve as Founder and Lead Servant.
 
His mission is simple yet transformative: to transition people from religion to relationship. His vision is not merely to build another church, but to create a haven where people can encounter God's love, experience authentic community, and discover their purpose in a safe, affirming, and authentic environment.
