Pastor John has a passion for worship, preaching and teaching in creative and relevant ways that speak to people regardless of whether they have been to church for 2 weeks or 20 years. He began his ministry as a youth pastor for 15 years and has spent the past 5 years serving as the pastor of a local church. He began his tenure at Waxhaw UMC in July, 2014. John and his wife, Anita, have three children: Rachel, Jaya and Isaac.
Christian works closely with the rest of the staff to bring energy and life to worship services and special events. He has a passion for all types of music which is evidenced through his unique ability to lead a praise band for our 9am service and a traditional choir at the 11 o’clock service. He is always looking for people who have a passion for music regardless of their skill level. If you have an interest in using your musical talent as an offering to our ministries, please contact Christian.
