Pastor John is originally from Pennsylvania, moving to Ohio over 40 years ago, after spending time in upstate New York. He was blessed to marry his wife Donna in 1972 and they have two sons – John (married to Jenne, with 6 children) and Paul.
God has chosen to give John and his family a life filled with adventure, trials and joy. They have used these experiences to minister to those who are facing life’s tragedies and trials, pointing others to the only One who can give the kind of comfort and peace that truly satisfies – our Lord.
John serves at First as our Community Pastor, serving needs in our church family and community. John ministers to those God puts in his path with a focus on sharing the gospel.
His favorite Bible verse is Psalm 27:4 as it best describes the desires of his heart;
“One thing I ask of the Lord, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple.”
