Air Hill Pastoral Staff
Pastor John Melhorn:
John Melhorn accepted Jesus into his heart at the age of 7 at a Good News Club; but it was during his senior year at Messiah College that he fully surrendered his life to Jesus. Ever since then, God has been renovating his heart by placing him in different positions: working at Messiah College, serving as a part-time youth leader, ministering as a chaplain at a PA state park during summers while studying at Evangelical Seminary, and pastoring within the Brethren in Christ Church for the last 24 years. For the last 20 years he served at Faith BIC Church near Baltimore, MD. John holds a B.A. in History from Messiah College and an M. Div. from the Evangelical School of Theology. God has blessed John with a wonderful wife, Nancy, and they have journeyed together in marriage for the last 24 years. John and Nancy have two sons – Matthew, who is completing his electrical engineering degree at University of Maryland and Andrew, who will be studying business at Wilson College. Over the years, the Melhorn family has taken trips to different places in the United States or Canada staying in a tent when they stopped. Whether they liked it or not, God often drenched them with showers of blessings on and in their tent. Aside from delighting in Jesus; John takes pleasure in bike riding, playing basketball, solving Sudoku puzzles, and reading. For John, bike riding becomes an even more enjoyable experience if Nancy joins him on the back of their tandem bicycle. In addition to their biking adventures, John and Nancy enjoy playing Dutch Blitz, Yahtzee and Scrabble.
