John Thompson grew up in Loyalist West Belfast during the ‘troubles’ and in his early teens he turned away from sectarianism after giving his life to Jesus Christ.

At a youth prayer meeting in 1986, John met his wife Jackie and the pair married a year later. During the early 1990’s John and Jackie moved to England where for twenty one years they ministered in Living Hope Christian Church in Kingston Upon Hull.

In January 2015 the couple returned to Northern Ireland with John joining the pastoral team at the Peoples Church as an assistant pastor.

John's mission statement for life is, 'To Grow constantly in God, and help others do the same'. John is fully committed to pursuing these purposes through his ministry at PCN.​
