About

Chubby Witty Pastor

John Paul Arceno

JP is an aspiring author, yet so far to be one (marami pa kong kakaining bigas at lalaklaking kape). I think and don’t think most of the time, hahaha. I’m a socially inclined introvert, gets? I’m an average learner, thinker, preacher, writer, and coffee purist/ enthusiast.

Currently, I am the Lead Pastor of Union Community Bible Church in New Jersey.

I received an Associate Degree in Information Systems Technology and Management (2012) from Southville International School and Colleges – SEED. Then, a Bachelor of Secondary Education (2014) at Oxfordian Colleges, Dasmariñas, Cavite.

I earned my Master of Divinity from the Philippine Baptist Theological Seminary in Baguio City in 2017. Also, I graduated from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Kentucky, with a Master of Theology (ThM) in Theological and Historical Studies (December 2020).

I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Systematic Theology, with a major in Systematic Theology focusing on Digital Theology and a minor in Baptist History and Studies, under the guidance of Dr. Malcolm Yarnell III at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary.

More trivia, I am a former coffee shop owner; pastor of Faith in Christ Fellowship-Scout Barrio, Baguio (2016-2019); and IT lecturer at Southville International School and Colleges (SEED & SSLC, 2015-2016), LMS-ID website developer, and designer.
