Elder John Woods

Elder John Woods is the eldest of eight children born to the late Ethel Bell Wynn, in Newnan, Georgia.  He was reared and educated in the Newnan, Georgia public school system. After high school he enlisted in the United States Air Force where he served honorably for over twenty four years and retired in 1991. It was during his duty station at Pope Air Force Base that he met and married his best friend Elder Vickie Woods.

Later, while working part time at Buies Creek Elementary School as a janitor he began a course of study at Campbell University. After earning a degree in Counseling he became a school Counselor in the Harnett County School System. He served most of his Counseling career at Harnett Primary School in Dunn, North Carolina before retiring in 2010.

But, in 2007, the now Elder John Woods, shared with his pastor, Elder Terrence McCrimmon, God’s call upon his life. After much prayer, fasting and talking with his pastor he moved forward into his calling in 2008. His initial sermon was entitled “I Am.” Elder Woods not only loves preaching God’s Word but he also has a passion for Sunday School and Bible Study. He is always willing to use his gift of teaching God’s Word any place God opens a door.

Elder Woods has also served the Cape Fear and Southwestern Conference faithfully over the years in various capacities, including President of the Deacon Aide Brotherhood Society. Elder Woods currently serves as President of the Conference Sunday School and Vice President of the Cape Fear District Union.
