John Andrews is an ambassador for Jesus Christ and has been a leading member of Burke Community Church in Burke, Virginia for almost 14 years. He has his Masters of Divinity from Golden Gate Theological Seminary and currently works as a Senior Research Engineer for Scitor.

John is a man of passion for the glory of His Savior, Jesus Christ. He has been married to his wife, Cheryl, for 25 years. They have a son, Greg, a daughter, Nicole, and a son-in-law, Jeff.

In 2004, John started having some troubles with cancer. The cancer first showed up in the form of melanoma, a type of skin cancer. The cancer was found quickly and had no more effect on his life once it was removed. A few years after the removal of his melanoma, he was diagnosed with Kidney cancer. God faithfully showed his presence and love for John when God allowed John and a doctor to find the cancer by complete accident. John had gone to the doctor for an aortal scan to make sure his heart was in good shape. When the scans came back, they found a large cist on his kidney. When the doctors went to remove the cist, they found a large cancerous mass hiding behind the cist. In God’s timing, the cancer was removed and John was cleared of all traces of cancer. Through his whole struggle with cancer and in his recovery time, John always depended on God, and never questioned his timing. John has a firm belief in God’s absolute sovereignty and is ever ready for what God wants him to accomplish.

Since he has been at Burke Community Church, John’s been a sitting elder for 2-terms of 3 years each, has spoken sermons on Sundays when the church was looking for a senior pastor in 2001, he teaches adult Sunday school classes, and has led Men’s Prayer Nights over 4 years in a row. John has made an incredible impact as he has mentored young men in leadership for the last 6 years.

We are honored to honor, John Andrews for the Wall of Honor.

Greg Andrews,
Proud Son
