Bellwether Church

John Hugh is Linda's husband, Jack & Logan's dad, and a follower of Christ. His call is to creatively communicate the Gospel through the Church.
He loves: his family, his country, traveling, the global body of Christ, the New York Yankees, Ole Miss, taking risks, and new life.

He was born and raised in New Albany, MS. Before becoming a pastor, he graduated from Ole Miss, worked on Capitol Hill 3 years, lived a year each in France and Australia, and went to seminary at Harvard Divinity School. Before planting Bellwether, he was an Associate Pastor at Christ United Methodist Church in Jackson.

Favorite Bible verse
Philippians 4: 13 - "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
