Pastor John and Clara Schrade

Hi, we are John and Clara Schrade.

We have been in ministry at Canton Temple for 59 years. John retired from the American Electric Power Company in the Civil Engineering Department as a public projects coordinator in 1992. He graduated from McKinley High School. Clara graduated from Timken High School and retired from Aultman Hospital. Clara started at the age of 14 playing the piano and organ. We love ministering to others and serving God with all of our hearts.

We have 3 children that we are very proud of: Gary Schrade, whom is a High School Teacher in Newnan, GA; Karen Schrade Ellard and her husband, Jerry, serve as Missionaries in Jerusalem, Israel; and Mark Schrade, Senior Pastor of Metro Church of God in Birmingham, AL.
