Leadership

Pastor John Czubkowski

LEAD PASTOR

Pastor John was called into ministry at a young age and found a passion for the word of God. Studying at Northeastern Christian Junior College, University of Valley Forge, Evangel University, Central Bible College, and Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, Pastor John has an incredible gift of explaining the complexities of the Bible in a clear and relatable way.  

He has served in denominational leadership. At one time he was the overseer of 60+ churches while pastoring his own. With many successful years behind him, he is totally convinced that he is most effective and seeing the most fruit in ministry right now.

He was asked to become the Chaplain of 1 of the fire companies in 2019. This year that position evolved into an official, codified position as Chaplain to the entire Fire Department in the city of Garfield.

Pastor John has dedicated his entire life and truly loves the city of Garfield!
