Biography

The second son of the Rev. Fred DeWeerd, Methodist missionary and pastor, James A. DeWeerd

(1916-1972) was a pastor, teacher, college president and evangelist. He was editor of The

Christian Witness and Advocate of Bible Holiness in 1948, served as the President of Kletzing

College from 1949 until 1951 and then as a Wesleyan Methodist pastor in Gaston and then

Fairmont, Indiana, where he also taught high school English. He was married to Mildred Geyer

DeWeerd whose brother Robert was a missionary in Bolivia. He was a longtime pastor-

administrator of Cadle Tabernacle in Indianapolis and a pioneering radio and television preacher

whose sermons were carried on a number of mid-western radio and television stations. In

Indianapolis he also edited The Christian Witness. James DeWeerd was a mentor of James Dean,

and played crucial support roles in Dean’s artistic development.

Scope and Content
