Our Leadership
VICAR | The Rev'd John Goodman II
|
Father John is our lead church planter. In late-2017, he began to discern God's call to gather a diverse group of people into an intentional community. That led to Christ Church RGV, a multigenerational, multicultural community centered on meeting Christ in His word, sacrament, and service to one another and the wider community.
A native of Western Pennsylvania, John was a nuclear reactor operator in the U.S. Navy, serving in Charleston and Pearl Harbor. He came to the valley as a Teach For America corps member and taught English, social studies, and special education for four years. John is an ordained Anglican presbyter (priest) in the Anglican Diocese of the Western Gulf Coast. He has ministered in Pennsylvania, Hong Kong, and both sides of the US-Mexico border. He received a B.A. in political science from Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania and M.A. in theology from Fuller Theological Seminary, and he is working toward receiving his J.D. from the University of Texas at Austin School of Law. In his free time, he finds joy in traveling, composing music, and networking people together to get stuff done.
