Rev. Dr. John Sproul
Regional Consultant

John brings together heritage and creativity when he works with congregations who desire to achieve the vision God has for them. John's heritage is shaped by generations of family who served as Lutheran pastors, educators and musicians. In each of his calls to four congregations—ranging from a new, contemporary mission congregation to a mid-sized traditional church to two mega-churches—his passion for stewardship has been formed and expressed by our emphasis on grace, that all of life can be a gift of joy.

His creativity is expressed in his love for writing, designing and implementing worship and special events, during which people are inspired to respond sacrificially to the vision God has for a congregation or institution. He has worked with more than three dozen congregations around the country in their capital campaigns, vision seminars and worship workshops.

John is a graduate of Concordia University, Ann Arbor, Mich.; Concordia Lutheran Theological Seminary, St. Catharines, Ontario; and earned a doctorate of ministry degree from Northern Baptist Seminary, Lombard, Ill. He studied Christian worship under the late Dr. Robert Webber. He currently serves Risen Savior Lutheran Church, Chandler, Ariz. as pastor of worship and discipleship.

He and his family live in Arizona.
