Bon Air Baptist Church >> James River Campus

John Sawyer : Campus Pastor
In mid-career, John began to take steps to prepare himself to follow wherever God’s Spirit would lead him. John began exploring Master of Divinity programs and began taking courses to explore this possibility. He didn’t realize that one day he’d be asked to consider the role of campus pastor for BABC and accepted this position in 2006. John is also working with the multi-site movement and new campus development for Bon Air Baptist Church..
John brings a wealth of experience from the business world. When we began looking for a campus pastor, we looked to other multi-site churches for models. John fit the profile wonderfully. John and his wife Lee Ann have a real desire to share Christ's love with others and have facilitated small groups and Alpha courses within the church. John and Lee Ann are the proud parents of Justin, Katie and grandson Joel.

Travis Collins : Senior Pastor
Travis began his ministry as Bon Air's fourth pastor on June 1, 2002. He is a graduate of Samford University, Birmingham, Alabama and earned the Master of Divinity and Doctor of Philosophy degrees from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky.
Travis' twenty-five plus years of ministry have included pastorates in Kentucky and missionary service in Nigeria, where he taught at the Nigerian Baptist Theological Seminary in Ogbomosho. He has written extensively for church leadership, preaching, and mission journals. You might even see Travis on the sidelines of a football game this fall, for his favorite hobby is football officiating. Dr. Collins and his wife, Keri, are the parents of three children - Landon, Brennan, and Grant.
