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.

40 Days of Community

Please be praying for our upcoming 40 Days of Community that starts this Sunday. We are believing God to do a great and huge thing. Many people are signing up for small groups. There are many people buying the devotional and study guides that go with it. Pray that God works on people's hearts to come to church and hear his Word. Pray that people sign up for a small group and commit themselves to one another like never before. Pray that there is an outpouring of the Holy Spirit in a way that unifies our church and brings people closer to God. I sense the Spirit of God wanting to do something new through this time.

We all really do need each other. We were designed for significant relationships with others to walk with us. I pray that new relationships will be formed and old ones will be rekindled. This is a chance for us all to come together in a great way. Small group leaders be inviting people to your group. Consider welcoming new people into your existing group and see what God can do. I pray that people are challenged by the service project and that it brings us closer to our communities. God I invite you to do a new thing at OFC and for your Spirit to sweep through all of us in a fresha nd new way so that all of us feel your presence. God change lives and bring people into your Kingdom. We dedicate and devote our lives and this campaign to you! God you are our everything and deserve our praise, our love, and our unity behind you. We give you 40 Days of Community! A-Men. Be praying with me. Blessings, Your Dreaming Pastor
