Rev. John Paeng

Pastor John and his wife Gloria love living on Vancouver Island! But, they love sharing their faith and their life with the congregation of St. Columba even more! John is a graduate of Regent College (MDiv) and New England Conservatory (MM, Voice) and has been pastoring churches since 1996. Over the years he has been a missionary in Central Asia, campus student ministry organizer in Vancouver, and guest preaching at various retreats and conferences. Gloria and John love the outdoors and enjoy hiking and exploring the Island whenever they can. They have two daughters.
