Rev. Dr. John Walls
Interim Pastor
Pastor John Walls joined the staff of Generations Church at the beginning of February, 2023. He has been faithfully serving in pastoral ministry since 1969; therefore, he brings over four decades of pastoral experience. Pastor John holds a Bachelor of Arts in Bible & Theology from Ohio Christian University, a Master of Arts in Pastoral Psychology & Counseling (Clinically trained) from Ashland Theological Seminary, a Master of Divinity from United Seminary, and a Doctorate of Ministry in Church Management from Trinity International University.
Pastor John was saved in a revival meeting, in his home church in southern Ohio, October 20, 1968. Almost immediately, Pastor John felt God’s call to preach. Both his maternal and paternal grandfathers were ordained preachers in the Ohio Christian Union Denomination, and even though he dearly loved them both, he had no desire to ever be a preacher! He understood, though, it wasn’t HIM having this desire to preach the Word of God, but the Holy Spirit doing a new work in him.
Pastor John took his first pastorate in November, 1969 and have tried to faithfully fulfill his calling throughout the years to come. He has been blessed to serve six growing churches until he officially “retired” in 2012. Generations Church is his third church to serve in as an associate pastor since retiring. He loves working with younger pastors, and doing all that he can to enhance and enrich their ministry. Pastor John's desire is to help Pastor Brett become a more effective preacher, pastor and leader so that our church can have a greater impact and influence in the Peyton community!
Pastor John will assume interim pastor responsibilities beginning Sept 1st, 2024.
