ALL ARE WELCOME


Regardless of where you are in life, where you come from

or what your background is...you are welcome here at Gainesville Church!

John Patterson

Senior Pastor

Pastor John has served as the lead pastor of Gainesville UMC since 1997 and has led the church through numerous transitions from a small, country church of less than 100 to our current campus of more than 1,000 people. He is a Western Pennsylvania native, and he is married to his wife Daleen, and they have four adult children.

Benson McGlone

Lead Pastor

Benson grew up in San Antonio, Texas and received his undergrad at Kansas State University.  He later received his Masters of Divinity from Duke University in North Carolina.   Benson first pastored a church in Virginia Beach and then joined the staff here at Gainesville Church in 2017 as the church planting pastor of our second campus, Revive House Church.  Continuing to see the church grow, sharing Jesus and reaching people who have never been to church is Benson's passion!   When he's not serving the church he enjoys spending time with his family, wife Alicia, their young son & their two energetic dogs named Bean and Duncan.  If you've met Benson, you know he is a self proclaimed "nerd" & "super goofy", and on long weekends you can find him riding his bike and spending time with family & friends.
