Hello!
We are the Denby family and will be moving to Johnson City to start a church. We love pointing people to Jesus, building relationships, and look forward to meeting you.
Why johnson city?
I have been coming to Johnson City to visit family since I was a child. When Amanda and I got married she fell in love with the town just like I had. Within the past year our love for the land has changed to a burden for the people. We now want to see God do a work that is beyond our imagination in a town we love.
— John Denby
Our background
John Denby is currently serving as pastor at Harvest Point Church in Nacogdoches. He married the love of his life, Amanda, in 2004, and they have three children (Luke, Joel, and Anayah). Both he and Amanda have a burden for the unchurched in Johnson City.
John was born and raised in southeast Texas and was saved at 8. At 22 the Lord called him into ministry during his last semester at Lamar University before graduating with degrees in accounting and finance. He started seminary the next semester at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and graduated in 2009 with a Master of Divinity. He later earned a Doctor of Ministry in Expository Preaching from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in 2016. He has served as music/youth minister and pastor in southeast Texas churches. John is passionate about loving on people and seeing them come to know Christ in an intimate way.
