1982-87.
In 1987, John left that pastorate moving his family to Atlanta, Ga to be
a part of the ministry of Chalcedon Presbyterian Church. In 1990, he
transferred his membership from Westminster Presbytery (PCA) to Covenant
Presbytery (RPCUS). John, while being an ordained minister, was

ministered to this body of believers once a month.

evangelist/pastor for four and a half years. In September 2009, John
received a call to be the evangelist/pastor of the Covenant Reformed
Presbyterian mission work of the RPCUS in Burlington, North Carolina. On
