Rev. John W. Carwell

John Carwell is originally from North Carolina but has served God in Kentucky for the last 26 years. He is an avid Tarheel fan. Please, don’t hold that against him. He has a beautiful family. He has been married to Stacia for 18 years. John’s oldest son Michael is 26. John and Stacia have two children: Madison (14) and Nicholas (11).

Pastor John graduated from Johnson Bible College in 1993 with a Biblical Studies and Telecommunications degree. He has been in the ministry for the past 26 years (pastoring churches, teaching Bible at Red Bird Christian School and serving in the mission field at Red Bird Mission).

John’s favorite book is Richard Foster’s “Celebration of Disciple” which he says transformed his spiritual walk with God from mediocre to meaningful. He has also served in many different positions on The Walk To Emmaus weekend retreats.

Pastor John enjoys playing guitar, bass and the drums. The Carwell family enjoys camping, hiking, board and card games and just lounging around with each other.

Pastor John’s signature line and favorite self-declaration is “Living the Life God has Given” because we are all called to live into the life God has given us and be our best self in every situation.
