Pastor John Newberry was born in Corpus Christi, TX in February of 1977. In the mid 90’s, after graduating from high school, he was led to the Lord by a friend. Having a heart to reach skateboarders, John began ministering the gospel to many skaters and young people in the Austin area. During 1997-1999 John rode for a skateboard company out of California and traveled with their skateboard team. In 1999, he was asked to come on staff at Calvary Chapel of Austin as one of the youth pastors. In January of 2001, John was ordained into the ministry. John met his wife Kenda in 2000 while serving in the church together. Kenda later joined the staff as the manager of Coffee Creator and they were married in September of 2001. In October of 2003, John left his position as the youth pastor at Calvary Chapel of Austin and moved to the Killeen area to continue the work the Lord called him to. John and Kenda currently live in Killeen, TX along with their 3 dogs and their cat. John & Kenda currently enjoy being empty nesters and live in close proximity to their daughter Ethni and granddaughter Rumani. Their oldest son Ethan currently resides in New Mexico and is sorely missed.
