John serves as Lead Pastor and native of Georgia (born and raised in Rockmart). He accepted Jesus as Savior when he was 12; but, didn't really develop in his relationship till 19.
John surrendered to the call to preach when he was 21, and followed Jesus for a 20 year journey as an Active-Duty Army Infantryman (God's school of obedience).
While stationed in South Korea, Camp Casey, he met his wife, Norie, who was a missionary from the Philippines.
Together they have two sons: Paul (PJ), and David.
John received his M. Div in Biblical Studies as well as a B.S in Christian Ministry from Liberty University.
With over 20 years of experience in relationship building, he build others up in Jesus through edification, exhortation, and comforting (1 Cor. 14:3). The verse that guides him in ministry is 1 Corinthians 4:15, “For though you might have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers; for in Christ Jesus, I have begotten you through the gospel” (NKJV). John strives to be a father and not an instructor by becoming approachable, willing to admit fault, and someone who strives to emulate Christ (1 Cor. 11:1).
