Rev. Pastor John Partridge

Pastor John Partridge graduated from Akron's Kenmore High School, then earned a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from Ohio Northern University.

After forty years of swearing that he would never be a pastor, and after working thirteen years as an electrical engineer, John heard a call to the ministry and began as a student local pastor in 2004. John graduated from Ashland Theological Seminary in 2008 and has previously served the congregations of Johnsville Grace United Methodist Church in Shauck, Ohio, Steam Corners United Methodist Church in Lexington, Ohio, Barnesville First United Methodist Church in Barnesville, Ohio, and Trinity United Methodist Church in Perry Heights, Ohio.

Pastor John has been married to his lovely wife Patti for over 25 years. They have a daughter at Kent State and two sons, one at Ohio University and one is working.

John has a passion for ministry, missions, and sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ and hopes that you will join us on this exciting adventure.
