\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Pastor John “Johnboy” Boyanowski is a Rhode Island native who moved to Indiana in 1991 with his family: beloved wife Marsha (married for 39 years), daughters April and LeeAnn, and son Joshua. Pastor John has been working in the church setting since he was 14 years old in some compacity. There was a time when he took \u201ca vacation\u201d from the church due to church politics. Once in Indiana, God reminded Pastor John of his calling and he came back to serving God, thanks to the late Rev. Jack Scott. Since that time, Pastor John began his studies and journey with the loving support of his wife Marsha. Pastor John then attended Taylor University Fort Wayne and graduated with a degree in Pastoral Ministry and Pastoral Counseling.<\/p>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Pastor John began pastoring in 2001 at Pleasant Lake UMC and pastored there for 21 years before God called him and Marsha to minister at Solid Rock Church. Both Pastor John and Marsha know that their calling to Solid Rock Church has been a blessing to all involved. From the very start, God\u2019s hand could be seen in the ministries of the church and in the people of Solid Rock. Pastor John and Marsha were empowered to utilize their gifts and talents for serving God in the way they felt God led them to serve.<\/p>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Marsha teaches Bible study, serves in several ministries, and leads the Hallelujah Hands Choir<\/em>, a choir that uses American Sign Language (ASL) and signs the music. Marsha is also passionate about working with the Bread of Life Food Pantry<\/em>, missions, and supporting pastor John in his ministries. For fun, Marsha loves crafting (card making, scrapbooking, etc.), gardening, reading, music, fellowshipping, and, of course, time with the kids and grandkids. Marsha is also a graduate of Taylor University Fort Wayne with a degree in Pastoral Ministries and Missions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
