On September 21, 2004, Koinonia Church voted to extend a call to Pastor John Ault. He and his wife Jane made a very strong impression on the congregation during their weekend visit and the Lord spoke clearly that this was in His plan for the Aults and for the body at Koinonia.
John officially stepped back into the Pastoral office on October 24th when he preached his first sermon as Pastor of Koinonia since January 1990. Having arrived in Potsdam for the very first time in late December, 1969 as the founding Pastor of Koinonia, John is now re-joining the church and is looking forward to the Lord’s blessing. It may be a rare occasion that a Pastor returns to a congregation after 14+ years absence, but with God all things are possible.
John and Jane are now grandparents with grandchildren on both the East and West coasts. The Ault’s 2 daughters, Laura and Carrie, live with their families on Long Island and near San Francisco respectively.
