John was raised in an Evangelical Free Church and graduated from Westmont College where he met his wonderful and godly wife. Although he became a Christian at a young age, he is greatly encouraged by God’s sanctifying work in his life. He is the proud father of six children and takes his duty as a father as given in Deuteronomy 6 very seriously, leading Bible time at the dinner table regularly and involving his family in ministry and church activities. He feels very blessed to be a part of a church that values children and family and where the family can participate in the church service together.
