JOHN WAGLER
LEAD PASTOR
John and Lacy have been married since June of 2001 and in 2008 were blessed with twins, Max & Neveah. Yes, Max is short for Maximus, and yes, it is from a love of the movie Gladiator. Where is Neveah from? Honestly, they were watching the MTV show cribs in the mid 2000’s and loved the sound of it. On the twin’s birthday in 2017 they welcomed little Ruby into the family! That’s right- 3 kids and one birthday. John came to the University of Richmond to play baseball and graduated in 1998. He’s an avid fan of the Red Sox, Celtics, and Bears and believes that God is powerful enough to save Yankee fans as well (even if it is reluctantly so). You won’t find too many people with a bigger sweet tooth and his Italian palette is spoiled due to his 100% Italian mother.
FAVORITE BOOK
Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller
LAST MEAL ON EARTH
