John and his wife, Maelynn, and their two children, Maegan and Bobby, came to Calvary in 2006 from Lake Orion, Michigan. John works as a mechanical/process engineer in Delaware. John came to faith in Christ at the age of 26 after hearing the gospel from his friend Maelynn, who became his wife a year later. He enjoys "dating" his wife on a regular basis—they enjoy driving up and down the Delaware River looking for a nice spot for dinner and conversation. John has served as an usher and deacon at Calvary and now joyfully teaches the Sojourner Adult Bible Fellowship class along with serving as an Elder. John sites Colossians 1:21-23 as a particularly meaningful text of Scripture: "And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard" . . . Reflecting on this text, John says: "The only proper response from redeemed sinners like us is unending gratitude and worship for the richness of grace that our Savior freely poured out. His blood can make the foulest clean, His blood availed for me!"
