‘”Keeping it Real” is the phrase that comes to most peoples minds when they hear John speak. He has a unique way of communicating biblical truths – inspiring and down-to-earth!’
John Onelum has been involved in church leadership for several decades and has had the opportunity to pioneer churches in the UK and support church groups overseas. He holds a PhD in Theology from the University of Birmingham (UK) and has been an accredited minister with the Assemblies of God GB since 2010.
John also used to be a community organiser and worked at a thriving community hub in East London just before he came to Hampden Chapel. He has a keen interest in Christian social action and relishes the challenge of conveying the Christian message of renewal and hope in unique ways to the non-church community of Hackney.
John is married to Angela, a teacher, and they have three adult daughters.
