Biographical Info

Rev. John Zimmerman was raised in the rural community of Stoystown, PA which is just a few miles from the 9/11 terrorist crash site of USAir Flight 93. He heard the call into ministry just after graduation from high school and attended the University of Pittsburgh for his undergraduate degree and obtained his Master’s Degree from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC. Pastor John is nearing 25 years of ministry in local church settings. He has always recognized the spiritual gifts of preaching, healing, and evangelism in his Christian life. God has allowed these gifts to be used in a variety of local church settings which include rural, suburban and city.
He has recently discerned a fresh call which has been affirmed by the Western Pennsylvania Annual Conference appointing him as General Evangelist. His heart has been opened to rediscover the new mission field that exists in our communities. In a post-Christian society he believes mission and evangelism must meet for authentic disciple-making. This model is relational at its core and is the foundation of his ministry “Mission Evangelism 180.” Part of his call is serving as director of “Corry Together.” Corry Together is a multi-charge cooperative parish of United Methodist churches for the mission of church-based transformational development with the poor and poverty in the Corry, PA area. He is available for local church/pastor coaching, consultation, and contextual mission/evangelism.
He enjoys hunting, camping and opportunities to enjoy his family. His wife, Christine, holds a K-6 grade teaching certificate and is the reading specialist in the local school district. She is a great asset to Pastor John’s ministry and loves serving the Lord with him. The Zimmerman’s are blessed with four wonderful boys ranging in age from 15—25 years old.
