About Rev. McKinnon . . .
       On Sunday, September 4, 2011, the Rev. John McKinnon began serving as Senior Pastor at Beckley Presbyterian Church.  He and his family are from New Bern, NC, where John served as Associate Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church for five years following his graduation from Union Presbyterian Seminary in Richmond, VA.  While in New Bern, John's work focused on the areas of Education, Mission & Outreach, and Fellowship. 

 

        When in seminary John served as the Youth Director at Tuckahoe Presbyterian Church.  Prior to seminary he was the Director of Camp Albemarle, a Presbyterian camp and retreat center on Bogue Sound near Morehead City, NC.  While serving as camp director he met the love of his life, Darci.

 

        Darci was living in Cincinnati and serving as the Executive Director of Wildwood Camp and Conference Center for the Presbytery of Cincinnati when she met John at a Presbyterian camp director's conference.  One year later they returned as husband and wife.  They both share a love for music, theatre, and all things outdoors.  These loves they also share with their daughter Aidan.
