John Rosciano
Leadership
Although John grew up in Brooklyn, his heart was planted in Staten Island long ago. Spending his early childhood in a home shared with his grandmother, aunt, uncle, and cousins, he developed a deep, lasting connection to the island—a place that always felt like home.
In June of 1992, John married his childhood sweetheart, Christine. Together, they have been blessed with four children and five grandchildren. Christine serves alongside him as his faithful helpmate—just as described in Genesis—partnering with him in every area of life and ministry.
Their personal journey of faith took a pivotal turn in 2004 when, through a series of personal trials and a struggle with alcoholism, John surrendered his life to Jesus Christ at Calvary Chapel Orange County in Goshen, New York. As they began attending and serving faithfully, their heart for ministry grew. They soon helped plant Calvary Chapel Grace Fellowship in Tuxedo, New York, under Pastor Bill Penna.
After living in Brooklyn for four years, they transitioned to New Jersey, where they served faithfully at Calvary Chapel Old Bridge. It was back in 2008 that God first laid a clear vision on John’s heart through Genesis 32, where God calls Jacob to return to the land of his fathers with the promise: "I will dwell with you."
That foundational call came to full fruition in 2024 when John and Christine launched The Process of Recovery in Christ. What began as a podcast sharing hope and faith-based recovery through discipleship soon expanded into a weekly Monday night meeting at Staten Island Christian Church on Victory Boulevard, serving a community deeply impacted by addiction and the fentanyl crisis.
As lives were transformed, God made the next step clear— leading them to plant Calvary Restoration Fellowship of Staten Island. Today, John and Christine lead a growing small group meeting in a home in Woodrow, building a gospel-centered community where broken lives are restored and people encounter the transforming love of Jesus.
