About Pastor John Sebby
John brings a wealth of experience, enthusiasm, and humor as pastor of Wildwood Christian Church. Through the years, John and his creative energy have been involved in teaching children's Sunday School, Adult Sunday School classes, served as a lay pastor, and was on a Church drama team where he founded the Evelyn Woodfield Slow Writers School scripting weekly drama sketches for Sunday services, serving Jesus with joy and devotion.
In early 2018, John was asked to step into the interim co-pastor role along with co-pastor with fellow elder Anthony Hawkins when Pastor Charlie Kirk retired.
After a few months, the congregation so enjoyed the variety of the two different preaching styles of Pastor Anthony and Pastor John, the interim was dropped, and they still switch off every week in delivering the message.
Pastor John has a teaching-style in his sermon presentation, which is loaded with stories, comedy, and very engaging. Where Pastor Anthony's preaching style is full of zeal, joy and his enthusiasm is infectious.
