Patriots, hello Pastor John Henry here!

Very proud of the work my son Erik has done with Businesses For Liberty and this website. I am blessed and delighted to be on this directory.

I have been teaching God’s Word for 35 years and I have no greater joy. I came to saving faith in Christ through the reading of my Dad’s old bible. I became involved with the Full Gospel Businessman Fellowship International. Speaking one night I got a gift of 333 audio tapes of Pastor Chuck Smith teaching through the Bible.  I then entered the ministry of the Presbyterian Church and the Irish Mission. God opened the door as Pastor Chuck Smith invited me, my wife Hilary and our boys Karl, Erik and Gary to move to California to serve as an Assistant Pastor. I ministered there for several years and then was sent by Pastor Chuck Smith to pastor a church in the Bay Area for 7 years. I returned to Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa at Pastor Chuck Smith’s invitation to serve as his right hand man until his death in 2013. Shortly thereafter I moved to the east-coast where I presently live in Edisto Beach, Edisto Island South Carolina.

I work now as an Assistant Pastor at Edisto Beach Baptist Church on Edisto Island teaching through the Bible for the 5th time at Edisto Beach Baptist Church, standing in for Pastor Thad Smith and assisting him in any way I can. I teach a Thru The Bible Series on Friday Mornings at 10:30 AM where we have Baptists, Presbyterians, Methodists, Anglicans and Lutherans in attendance. I also speak occasionally on Sunday Mornings standing in for local ministers. Teaching God’s word is the joy of my life.
