Meet the Ministers
Pastor John Barham, Senior Pastor
Pastor John began service at FUMC Tavares on July 1, 2007. Prior to this appointment, he has served in the Tampa Bay area, Lake Panasoffkee, Keystone Heights, Ft. Myers, and Broward County. He has been active in ministry since the age of 21, while he was finishing college. His favorite part of ministry is sharing Jesus with people, and he has a contagious excitement about it!
Pastor John's formal training includes an A.A from Florida Keys Community College, a B.A. in History from Florida Southern College in Lakeland, and a Masters of Divinity from Asbury Theological Seminary in Kentucky. Outside of the ministry training, his favorite subject was history, and that interest is still displayed today in the examples of context and background that he brings to his teaching.
Pastor John came to Tavares with his lovely wife and best friend, Crystal, to whom he has been married since 1974. He also brought with him a fondness for Cappuccino/Heath Blizzards from Dairy Queen, Wendy's fries, chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate! He also likes fish, fish, fish: salt water aquariums, scuba diving, snorkeling, deep sea fishing, lake fishing...
Pastor John's favorite Scripture reference is John 17, because it talks about Jesus praying for us.
