About Highland Church: History  Ι  Pastors & Staff

John Watkins, Associate Pastor

I was born in Raleigh, NC, on February 7, 1950.  I enjoy singing, playing the piano, traveling, birding, and golf.  I have a great love of people and seeing them fulfill their spiritual potential.  I married Anita Reed in May of 1974 in Mt. Vernon, Ohio.  We have two sons, Jason & Chadd, both married to lovely ladies, Lorrie & Nikie, and one grandson, Brandon.

I have spent most of my life working with youth in some capacity, having spent 33 years in ministry.  I received the call to ministry while in college.  I have also spent three terms as a student missionary; Monument Valley in Arizona, Jamaica, and English/Bible teacher in Korea, while I was in academy and college.  I have been the associate pastor at Highland Seventh-day Adventist Church since 1998.
