About Me

Hey there...My name is John Alice and I am happily married to my wife of 11 years Erin. We have five children; Tawna, Austin, Hailey, Isabel, & E-beth. I also happen to be the Pastor of Old Fort Church in the Northern Midwestern part of Ohio. God has done so many things in my life from being a church planter in a YMCA to fostering up to 14 different children in our house. There have been many struggles along the way with infertility, Isabel's Aperts Syndrome, and the challenges of raising five children. However, God has always met me in times of struggle and walked with me through these real life issues.

Never been unloved

I do find it difficult sometimes to fathom how deep God's love for me goes. Often I wonder how God could love me based on what I've done, or am thinking. It is our human nature that tends to deny us the ability to know God's love for our hearts and this creates a barrier when it comes to hearing Him. Our ability to hear from God as I have noticed in my life thrives in my ability to believe and know God's love for me. When I know God's love then I know that whatever he is telling me comes out of that love. Therefor my trust and faith in Him becomes more fluid. I am praying today that I would know His love more in my life. As I know his love more and live into it His joy will not be far behind. What greater joy is there than to know the God of the universe loves you unconditionally? I pray you know His love and expereince his joy.
Walking together,
Your Dreaming Pastor
