Pastor John and Janie

John E. Bryant, Senior Pastor
Pastor John is the senior pastor at Mount Vernon Grace Brethren. He was commissioned in 1982 from the Mansfield, Ohio Grace Brethren Church to be a church planting pastor to the Knox County community of Mount Vernon. It was during his four years of active U. S. Naval duty, during the Viet Nam war years, that John met the Lord and received a call from the Lord to enter into the pastoral ministry. However, before he could begin his formal training at Columbia Bible College in Columbia, South Carolina, he met and married the lovely Janie Thomas in the summer of 1974. Both John and Janie are natives to the North Central Ohio area. After completing the requirements for a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Education from Columbia Bible College, John and Janie moved back to Ohio where he spent a one year internship on staff of a Grace Brethren Church and then another two years gaining valuable practical experience at Mansfield before leaving for Mount Vernon to begin the work there. Pastor John is active in Biblical counseling and is a professor of post graduate theological studies. Pastor Bryant is a national speaker and leader. He is sought out as a guide/teacher for Holy Land studies and tours. Both he and Janie were early leaders in the home school movement. They have three adult sons, Jonathan, Justin and Jesse.
