Presenters

The Alliance

Dr. John Stumbo

President - The Alliance

Dr. John Stumbo is serving in his final year as president of The Christian and Missionary Alliance. He and his wife Joanna have been married for 42 years, have three grown children, and five grandchildren. A pastor and ultra-marathon runner, life suddenly changed for John in 2008 when a mysterious illness left him hospitalized for 77 days and unable to swallow for 18 months. After a true miracle occurred, John was able to reenter ministry. This story is chronicled in his book, An Honest Look at a Mysterious Journey. Dr. Stumbo has also authored other books including one on the churches of the New Testament: A Stained Beauty: Churches Ancient and Present. His newest book, Once upon a Time I was Young, is soon to be published in time for LIFE 2025 as John shares stories and devotional thoughts for youth.

Numerous changes were incorporated by the denomination during President Stumbo’s tenure. One of these was the relocation of the C&MA National Office from Colorado Springs to Reynoldsburg (Columbus), Ohio. Believing that the American church must reposition itself towards greater community engagement, the C&MA National Office has returned to the marketplace.

Dr. Stumbo is seeking to finish his tenure well and has given the Board of Directors a 23-item list of what he is working to complete in his final year. He’s confident that God is already preparing the next leader to take the “holy baton” that he’s been so honored to carry. Dr. Stumbo enjoys being active outdoors, especially if it includes his grandchildren. He is a board member of International Students, Inc. and the National Association of Evangelicals.
