We are truly blessed to have Pastor Yoder and his family on our team. He is married to Jacquelynn, and together they have three children: Winston, Nora, and Owen.

  • JOHN GILLEY

    Church online pastor

    Pastor John Gilley has served as the pastor of ChurchOnline since 2019. He and his wife Cathy are blessed with one daughter, Shyann. After many fruitful years as a pastor in Fredonia, Michigan, Pastor Gilley was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, which eventually led him to retire from full-time ministry. Though MS has left him quadriplegic, God has opened a powerful new chapter through technology. We are truly blessed to have him serving as our Online Pastor.

    If you have a physical or spiritual need and would like prayer, Pastor Gilley would love to hear from you. Feel free to text or call him anytime.
