MEET OUR STAFF

Pastor John & Leah Kohr

Pastor John and Leah come to Newcomerstown from Mt Sterling, Kentucky where they served for 10 years. They knew God was calling and are delighted to be at Newcomerstown Church of the Nazarene. "This church has big dreams to reach the community for Christ and nothing is impossible for our big God", said Pastor John.

​

They are a blended family with five adult children. And they are proud grandparents of eight. In their spare time, they are avid readers, enjoy hiking, and love to travel. In Columbus, Ohio for 25 years , they are big Buckeye fans. Most evenings you will find them watching British detective shows with their dogs Henry and Dexter. Pastor John has a Master of Divinity Degree from Ashland Theological Seminary. Leah holds a Master of Arts in Counseling from Ashland Theological Seminary.

​

Their favorite bible verse is: "The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy." Psalm 126:3

Jim & Myra Marinucci

We have  been worship leaders since 1990, working with many wonderful people who have been a part of the Praise Team over the years. Married in 1986, we have been blessed with two daughters, a son, one granddaughter and one grandson.

We are thankful the Lord has called us to bring His people into His presence through worship in song.
