He stayed with my grandparents and I in Minnesota. He lead me to the Lord at 14 in Escondido. He encouraged me as a graphic artist in ministry at 22. Bethel years were growing years and I will forever be grateful for his strength and honesty in Christ.
This is to my good friend Joel and his family, very sorry to hear of your dad’s passing and I know I’m a year late but my condolences to you all. Give me call sometime at 503-539-0590. Eric from Chico. PS Denis wants to meet in Chico this year. Cheers
I remember Pastor Schwartz as my Pastor in Escondido,at Bethel Baptist.A man of God who encouraged me.His whole family his wife Carol,and of course playing ball with his sons was a blessing. Such great memories, looking forward to seeing Him on the other side. Dick Hillman.
Dr Swartz was such an amazingly generous gentleman. When our 4th child was to be born (my husband, Bob Wilson was at sea). He offered to keep & care for our 3rd child, then 3 yrs old, until I could return to care for all of the children myself. Having 5 boys of his own to care for, this was such an unselfish gesture. Even though this was 46 years ago, I have never forgotten this wonderful man. My sincere sympathies to the family but I am certain he is seeing & celebrating with many souls he has known including my beloved. Noni Wilson.
We praise God for His faithful, wonderful servants, John & Carol Swartz. Bro John was our pastor through our teen years and beyond. He counseled us for marriage with words we still remember. He encouraged us as we began our journey of pastoral ministry. We look forward to meeting him again for eternity, and worshiping Our King together!
Bro. John was a wonderful pastor and friend to my family, the Doyce Phillips Family while we lived in Escondido. I was a high school student and have found memories of Bro. John and Carol being in our home for meals and fellowship. My parents, Doyce and Marilyn loved Your family. I am sure Daddy was there when Bro. John met his Savior. My mother is headed to heaven anytime now, as well. We love you. Nancy Phillips Ervin

God has a special place in heaven for you.
