Congratulations to Pastor John Toone, who had served as East Shore’s associate pastor from June 2014 until his appointment as senior pastor this past week.
Although born in Norfolk, Virginia, he has lived in the Harrisburg area for most of his life. He came to salvation, was baptized, and matured in his faith through the ministry of East Shore Baptist Church. John has a master of divinity degree from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, Wake Forest, N.C. (2014) and a bachelor of science in biblical studies from Liberty University, Lynchburg, Virginia (2011). He married Christine in September 2019.
John’s passion is to glorify God and see His Word transform lives into the image of Christ, by the Holy Spirit’s power, in fulfillment of the Great Commission. He enjoys spending time with his family, talking about the Bible and theology, reading, watching movies, and cheering on the Philadelphia Eagles!
