John has been our Senior Pastor since 2012. He and Melissa have been married for 30 years and they have two sons, Cayman & Grayson. The Beemans have lived in the RSM/Mission Viejo area for more than 20 years. Prior to coming to Orange County, John served as the Family Life Minister at a church in La Mesa, California and has also served as a Senior Pastor for two other churches. 

Most recently he was the founding pastor of Cornerstone Christian Church in Mission Viejo.  As the Senior Pastor at Stonecreek, John’s primary role is to provide spiritual leadership over Stonecreek’s missions and vision, transformational Scripture-based teaching and pastoral care to those in need.

John grew up in Mexico as a child of missionary parents.  After graduating from Abilene Christian University he obtained a Masters degree in marriage and family therapy. 

Although ministry keeps John pretty busy, he still finds time to weave some of his favorite past-times into the fabric of everyday life. John loves people and he enjoys good food so if you know of a great little place or want to grab a bite, give him a call! Melissa Beeman is married to Pastor John Beeman and that is full time ministry. As administrator, her role and responsibilities include managing and overseeing facility use and maintenance and supporting various church administrative needs.
