John Filkey – Elder, Executive Pastor
Despite the chaos, confusion, and uncertainty of 2020, God, in His providence, moved John and Lorna from the West Valley of Phoenix to Prescott in August. John's twenty-plus years of pastoral ministry will help provide additional pastoral care and discipleship at Canyon and oversee the church's administrative and operational aspects. As Executive Pastor, John is responsible for the church's vital functions, including staffing, strategic planning, daily operations, and ensuring the church is carrying out its vision and mission.
John and Lorna love helping God's image-bearers move from a performance-based, moralistic merry-go-round life to one centered on what Jesus establishes as central—Himself! The Filkey’s children and grandchildren love visiting them in Prescott.
