Dr. John Wind

Biography and Professional Achievements

I have been married to my sweet bride, Rachel, since 1996, and the Lord has blessed us with five children. Before coming to CCU, I served with my family in China for eight years. Earlier in life, I became a Christian while attending a non-Christian university and then, when later finishing my degree at a Christian college, was profoundly impacted by godly and wise professors. I now want to help establish college students upon Christ through the written revelation of Scripture, even as God similarly used college professors in my own life. I also am passionate about encouraging college students to commit to the local church and am myself actively involved in leadership at Calvary Lakewood, a local church plant.
