John Pearce

John Pearce has lived in the Kitchener Waterloo area for almost all of his life. He experienced a dramatic conversion to Christ when he was 16 years old, and this life changing encounter has impacted him deeply ever since. John graduated from Wilfrid Laurier University (BA) in 1986 and from Wycliffe College at the University of Toronto (MDiv) in 1998. 

John first came to Stanley Park Community Church as a parishioner in 1981. He was an active part of the church family here while he pursued his theological education. He became the senior pastor of the church in 1990. John and his wife Judy have two married children.
