My name is John Leonard, and I am currently the NextGen Pastor at Northwest Church in Bentonville, Arkansas. My amazing wife of eight years, Brianna, and I love serving God’s youth and leading the Next Generation towards Him. We moved to Arkansas this August after eight incredible years of Youth Pastoring at Mountain View Church in Clovis, California. We have always had a heart for the next generation and have been serving in youth ministry and camps for as long as we can remember. We are passionate about teaching students to know God personally, to love the truth of His Word, and to be able to share the good news of Jesus Christ boldly with others. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from SCU and received a 3-year Ministry Degree in Student Ministries from Rhema Bible Training College.
