John Isbell
Sub-Deacon
Sub Deacon John grew up in Texas, and has lived in Arizona since 2021. He was baptized Episcopal, then converted to Anglican when the church he attended left the Episcopal church after the Episcopal church ordained an openly homosexual bishop. He graduated with a bachelor’s from West Texas A&M University in Canyon, Texas, which is roughly 20 miles south of Amarillo. John climbed the tallest mountain in Texas (Guadalupe Peak) in May of 2025. Yes, there are mountains in Texas, no they aren’t the landfill. Furthermore, John enjoys shooting and hunting. He and his wife April go
camping as often as is practical, and are generally found at their house, the church, or in the woods.
It is rumored that he can leap tall Altar Rails in a single bound.
