	Pastor John was born in Boise, Idaho and grew up in Carlton, Oregon where he attended grade school and high school. He is a second generation pastor, his father having served in one church for over thirty years. He has been married to Maria since 1994 and is the proud father of three children, a son and two daughters. Upon graduation from seminary in 1996 John was called to pastor the Stanfield Baptist Church, a growing congregation in rural Eastern, Oregon. After his first meeting with the pastoral search team, the committee members stuffed six large watermelons into the small trunk of his Subaru Imprezza. Having now lived on Oregon’s ‘dry side’ for many years he has come to appreciate its big sky and unassuming beauty. John holds the following earned degrees: B.A. in history from George Fox University, Newberg Oregon; M. Div. from Western Seminary, Portland, Oregon; D. Min. from Knox Theological Seminary, Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
