Hi! My name is John Richardson, and I am a district licensed minister in the Church of the Nazarene and I am pursuing ordination. Prior to serving at Champaign First I was a youth ministry intern at College Church in Bourbonnais.

I graduated from Olivet Nazarene University in 2019 with a bachelor’s in Pastoral Ministry. I am currently working on a Master of Divinity from Nazarene Theological Seminary. I am a Chaplain Candidate in the Army Reserve and at the end of my program I will become and Army Chaplain.

I am passionate about helping others grow in their spiritual walk, and growing alongside them. In my free time I enjoy distance running and spending time with friends and family.
