My name is John Allen. I feel as though 2009-2010 will be a year to remember for JCCA. I am very priviledged to serve as the 5th-8th grade teacher. For the last 18 years, I have served in ministry and education in the midwest and the east coast. In ministry, I have served in roles such as children's pastor, youth pastor, and associate pastor. I have taught in Day Cares from 0-5, Head Start, Pre-School, K-8, and even special education. I moved to Missouri for full time ministry. Currently, I'm serving as Associate Pastor in my church as well as working here at JCCA. There are not many places where your child can get the one on one attention they need to learn and grow in a Christ- centered environment, JCCA provides that, and I'm grateful to be a part of this ministry.
