🎉 Help us welcome our new Assistant Director, John Murphy—and wish him a very Happy Birthday today!
We’re excited to officially welcome John Murphy to the Geneva Hills team!
John brings nearly nine years of experience in camping ministry, with a background spanning programming, development, marketing, technology, activities, and hands-on maintenance. He got his start serving on summer staff at Cedar Lake Ministries and went on to serve in a variety of leadership roles there.
But what excites us most is John’s heart for ministry. Camp played an important role in his own relationship with Christ and eventually became the place where he felt God calling him into ministry. He believes strongly in the unique opportunity camp provides to remove people from the distractions of everyday life and give them space to experience God in new ways.
John has been married to his wife, Hannah, for six years, and they have a son, J.C., who is almost one year old. They’ll be moving to Geneva Hills soon, and John will officially begin his role in early September.
We’re greatly excited to welcome the entire Murphy family to Geneva Hills and see how God uses them in this next season of ministry.
Welcome to the Geneva Hills family, John, Hannah, and J.C.!
