Our Sherpas
Sherpas donate much of their time, energy, and knowledge to the spiritual growth of the youth that they teach. Each are mentors to the youth in our group, and are a huge part of everything we do at Aldersgate!

(If you are a Sherpa, and wish to have a bit of information about yourself with your picture, feel free to send it to us via email.)


 

John Forbus has dedicated his Sunday Nights to the youth since joining Aldersgate in 2000, and currently serves as chair of Blaze, and is a Jr. High Sherpa. Raised in a tight-knit United Methodist Youth group in Sardis, Arkansas, John like giving Aldergate's youth the opportunity to have as much fun as he did growing up. Highlights of John's time with the youth include trips to Six Flags and Galveston, on-demand math and science tutoring, plus games such as "What's John Eatin'?" and "Halftime 3-Liter Extravaganza" and "Full-Contact Bible Trivia."

John and his wife Amy have been blissfully married since 1996. They are proud-puppy parents of a German Shepherd mutt, Cub, who occasionally serves as mascot for Trunk or Treat in her Ace the Bat-Hound costume, and their most recent addition, a blue heeler named Angus.

John Stanley has been a senior high Sherpa since 2004, but has since moved down to teach Junior High Sunday school. He is happily married; coincidentally, his wife's name is Mrs. Stanley. He's "really old", knows a lot of really bad jokes, and loves golf.
