Bio of Dr. John Cereghin I was born in 1964 at Andrews Air Force Base, outside of Washington, into a military family.  My father is an Air Force vet and did a tour in Vietnam.   God saved me as a 13-year boy on February 9, 1978, at 9:30 PM while listening to radio station HCJB from Quito, Ecuador, on my shortwave radio.  Naturally, I have a strong burden for Christian radio! After high school graduation in 1983, I attended the University of Maryland, majoring in weather forecasting.  But God called me to preach and i surrendered to that call in November 1985.  Two months later, I transferred to Maryland Baptist Bible College in Elkton, Maryland, where I graduated with my bachelor's degree in 1988.  Later, I was the first student to earn the Bachelor of Theology and Master of Biblical Studies degrees from the newly formed Maryland Baptist Theological Seminary, in 1992 and 1995 respectively. After graduation, ministries involved pastoring the Queen Anne's Baptist Church in Centreville, Maryland (1988-1990) and Charity Baptist Church in Mebane, North Carolina (1993-1994).  Later, I took up duties as Academic Dean at Maryland Baptist Bible College from 1995-1998. We started our current ministry at Grace Baptist Church of Smyrna, Delaware in September, 1998. I also hold a Master of Theology Degree from Foundations Theological Seminary in Dunn, North Carolina, (class of 1994). I am married to my lovely wife, Teresa, who hails from Nova Scotia and we have been blessed with four wonderful children and two stray cats!
