John Childers moved to St. Louis from Georgia because he and his family sensed God was calling them to be a part of a unique spiritual community at South County Baptist Church. His passion is to honor God by developing a church full of missionaries - the greatness of a church is seen not in its seating capacity, but in its sending capacity!

John and his wife Jeannie have two daughters, Amy and Jennifer. He graduated from The University of Georgia (Journalism), Southwestern Baptist Theological (Master of Divinity) and New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary (Doctor of Ministry).
