Meet Our Pastor

Pastor John has been our Pastor since December, 2012.  He has been involved in ministry (part time and full time) since he was 16 years old.  He has pastored churches in Missouri, as well as Alaska.  He has also served churches as:  Youth Minister, Education Minister, and Associate Pastor.  He has also taught in Christian Schools.  Pastor John has a deep love for the Word of God, and a passion for personal discipleship.

Like many of you, Pastor John has walked through times of personal struggles, broken relationships, and has experienced critical and hurtful people.  He is just another example of God choosing to use the broken people of this world as a vessel of His glory. Pastor John knows that he is flawed and imperfect and will often use personal experiences to show how God's love, mercy, grace, and forgiveness has changed his life, and can change yours.

Pastor John and his wife Cindy have five children:  Ian lives in Tulsa, OK; Tory, her husband Justin, and their two kids (Aiden and Paeton) live in North Pole, AK; Bryan and his wife Mackenzie live in Columbia, MO; LeAnne, her husband Dylan and their son Spencer live in Rochester, WA; and their youngest child Katie lives in Fairbanks, AK.  However, the unofficial head of their house is Opie, their pit-boxer!

Pastor John loves God's Word.  He loves to preach and teach God's Word and he enjoys the times of studying God's Word in preparation of preaching and teaching.  He loves helping people to better understand God's Word, what it means and how to apply it to their daily lives.

Pastor John believes in the importance of personal relationships, and we hope that you will get the chance to get to know him and Cindy.  You will find a man that is seeking the heart and the guidance of God.  You will also find him to be a pastor who will stand beside you, and one who will challenge you to become the person that God has created and called you to be.
