Pastor John Pace accepted Christ in 1981 and has spent the past 30 years in full-time ministry. His efforts in serving the Lord in denominational leadership with the Church of God of Prophecy (Cleveland, TN) took him to over 40 states and 40 countries around the world. Still, there is no place he would rather be than in the presence of the Lord and at his home church, Crimson House.
As the founding Pastor of Crimson House in 2001, Pastor John transplanted a fledgling local church on the outskirts of town into the heart of historic Springfield. It has now become a lively urban ministry center, with an active local body offering assistance and programs to over 750 non-congregants each month. His anointing to show people the love of Jesus and his laid-back teaching style create a culture of discipleship and belonging. One of his greatest rewards is to hear someone call Crimson House “home.”
Pastor John has been the Lead Teacher at Shepherds of the Lost since its inception in 2010. He has spent the past 7 years writing curriculum and developing training materials of all kinds with the hopes of helping others to find their place in the Kingdom and become true shepherds of the lost around them.
Pastor John attended Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary. He enjoys spending time with his wonderful wife, Diane, their seven beautiful children, and three precious grandchildren.
