In
June 2002 exactly 4 years after leaving Edinboro for graduate work
at Asbury Theological Seminary (Wilmore, KY), John and Corrina McCready
returned to Edinboro, PA to lead Edinboro Alliance Church.
Both John (‘97)
and Corrina (‘98) graduated from Edinboro University of PA.
They carry with them a passion for Edinboro, for both the families
and students in the community.
John grew up
near Enon Valley, PA and graduated from Mohawk High School. He was
active in his local CMA church growing up and came to Edinboro to
major in secondary education, social studies. In his freshman year,
he met Corrina who had worked summers with his sister at a famous
ice cream shop in Chippewa Township, PA. Two months after meeting
Corrina, John realized that God was calling him to pastoral ministry.
Corrina grew
up in Patterson Township, PA and graduated from Blackhawk High School.
She was involved at an early age in her home United Methodist Church
in Chippewa. She began her college studies at Ashland University
in Ashland, Ohio. She transferred and finished her education as
an elementary education major at Edinboro University. Before her
senior year at EUP, John and Corrina were married in June of 1997.
While living
in Kentucky, Caleigh joined the family in July 2001. Twins Alec
and Micah are the newest editions in November 2003.
John said, "As
we see the people of Edinboro Alliance Church excited about reaching
out to Edinboro, our desire is deepened and renewed. Our rich diversity
continues to impress upon us how beautiful the body of Christ is".
