John Thexton, Interim Senior Director of Operations and Finance

John Thexton is the Interim Senior Director of Operations and Finance at Montview Boulevard Presbyterian Church. Prior to joining Montview, John invested 26 years in congregational and nonprofit ministry. He has a passion for helping people and institutions that align mission and practice. 

John’s work has largely centered on sustainable development within marginalized communities. He excels at strategic thinking, system design, implementation, and evaluation. He is known for his ability to connect the big picture with everyday practice.

John’s work has also invited a focus on leadership development. He teaches courses in organizational development for two master’s programs—one local and one international. He enjoys traveling and being invited to see the world from indigenous perspectives as he partners with leaders in the majority world.

Though not serving in a pastoral role at Montview, John is an ordained minister and understands the unique strengths and opportunities inherent in congregational life. He holds an MDiv from Nazarene Theological Seminary and a PhD in Pastoral Theology and Counseling from Texas Christian University.

John is dedicated to his family. One of his primary joys in this season involves playing with his family. They enjoy board games, volleyball, working out together, and all things outdoors.
