My name is John and I serve as the Director of Youth Ministry and Faith Formation. In 2019, my family was seeking a church home that was inclusive, justice-minded, and engaged in the broader Columbia community. The Spirit led us to Broadway and we've never looked back! As Broadway's visioning process revealed a need to grow discipleship opportunities for our teens, families, and adult membership I joined the staff in November of 2020. As part of the Pastoral team and director of youth and faith formation, I work in partnership with our Children, and All God's Children Coordinators and adult discipleship team to create a program of life-long faith formation serving our youngest learners to our most seasoned saints! When I'm not at church you can find me playing with my two kiddos, spending time with my wife, or sneaking off to a nearby trout stream to try my luck!
