REV. JOHN A. D’ELIA, PHD
Interim Pastor – First Presbyterian Church San Luis Obispo

Pastor John grew up in Burbank, California and graduated from UCLA and Fuller Seminary (twice). He has served churches in Edinburgh, London, and Glendale, California, and worked in fund development for Union Rescue Mission, Fuller Seminary, and the Presbyterian Foundation. Along the way he earned a Ph.D. in History at the University of Stirling in Scotland, and his dissertation was published by Oxford University Press in 2008 (A Place at the Table: George Eldon Ladd and the Rehabilitation of Evangelical Scholarship in America).

Enough with the boring stuff. John loves movies, music, and food (all kinds), and is a passionate fan of UCLA, the Dodgers, and Arsenal Football Club in London. John is an eager traveler, and set a Guinness World Record with his son and some friends for visiting the most national capitals in a 24-hour period (we made it to 8). Bringing people together to serve God is his passion, and he believes that healthy local churches just might be able to bring this crazy world together.
