John Yale

Elder team lead

In his role as Elders Lead, John steers the team responsible for the spiritual care of individual members, Bethany’s called worker staff, and congregational health as a whole.

John and Nancy have been married for over 30 years, and live in Fox Crossing. They have one daughter, Kristin, who lives in Milwaukee with Tom and their daughter Addison. John and Nancy very much enjoy visiting them, either in Milwaukee or in Fox Crossing. They also have a pontoon boat at home that they use as much as possible each summer. They also spend time in Florida each winter, usually in the Cape Coral area.

John spent nearly 40 years in the industrial automation business, starting as a field engineer in the Chicago and Minneapolis-St. Paul areas, then moving to the Fox Valley to be involved in service management, and finally as a project manager for the last 20 years of his career. John has been a member of the Bethany family since marrying Nancy at Bethany in 1993.
