John Paddock was born here in Jacksonville, attended Rusk schools, and grew up in Fellowship Bible Church. After serving a four year enlistment in the Marine Corps, he and his wife moved back to East Texas. It was in that time that they both began reading the Word, understood the Gospel, and received Christ as Lord. After serving in the youth ministry at Fellowship Bible, they decided to move back to California to continue John’s theological education at The Master’s College where he received his Bachelors of Arts in Biblical Exposition. John and his wife Kali spent the next four years doing foster care and adopted their two oldest sons. John preached and served at a Christian men’s home in Los Angeles until the elders called him back to serve as the Discipleship Pastor at Fellowship Bible Church in Jacksonville. John and Kali have four children: Jordan, Nathan, Carli, and Grace.
