Pastor John grew up in Marion, S.C. He graduated from Marion High School, and started his own Security Alarm Service along with a partner in 2004. John grew up unchurched and is eternally thankful for his brother praying for him for years to come to know the Lord. He was saved in his early 20's during a morning service at his brother's church.  John is married to his partner in ministry, Lorie Ann Rogers. They have four children, Jake, Lucas, Marley Ann, and John Denley. After serving as a Sunday School teacher and Deacon at Reedy Creek, John felt a call to the ministry in 2010. When a position as a Youth Pastor became available, John served in this position for six and a half years. He later served as interim pastor at Reedy Creek and was called as Senior Pastor in 2017 and also continues to maintain his own business. John has a passion for family, youth, all ministries, mission trips, and seeing people read God's Word. John enjoys hunting, fishing, and spending time on the farm with his family during free time.

Pastor John's favorite bible verse is Proverbs 27:17.
