John B. Cartwright (born May 5, 1946) is an American Baptist pastor who first achieved acclaim as a record-setting quarterback at the United States Naval Academy in the 1960s. After a tour of duty in Vietnam, he became head football coach at Lynchburg Baptist College (now called Liberty University) while attending seminary at the school in Virginia. He then left football to start a church in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that he has pastored for over three decades.[1]
