Born in London, England, Dr. John-Paul C. Foster was raised in both the United Kingdom and the United States. His journey with faith began in high school, but it wasn't until college that he fully committed to ministry, prompting a transfer to Biola University.

John-Paul received his Bachelor of Arts in Biblical and Theological Studies at Biola University. After completing his bachelor’s degree, he received his master’s degree at Talbot Theological Seminary. He has also studied Church Unity and Reconciliation at Oxford in England, Organization Leadership at the King's University, and has received his Doctorate at Talbot School of Theology.

Currently, he serves as Senior Pastor at Faithful Central Bible, and is an adjunct professor at Biola University, Talbot School of Theology. His leadership and Biblical exposition have impacted thousands both in the Los Angeles area and around the world as he encourages people to build their lives on the foundation of God’s word.

When John-Paul is not inspiring others outside his home he is enjoying the inspiration God has given him within his home. To date, he and his wife, Karmen have celebrated 15 years of marriage, and have been blessed with two beautiful children, John-Paul II and Payton.
