About Pastor Jon
About Jon
I'm a pastor, husband, dad, communicator, and builder who loves helping people take their next step toward Jesus.
Much of my life has been spent with students, families, volunteers, churches, and leaders. I love preaching, developing people, building healthy teams, solving problems, and helping ministries become places where people can belong, grow, and lead.
The local church should make its community better because it is there.
I want to help people know Jesus, build healthy relationships, strengthen families, develop leaders, and create churches where people are noticed, included, and sent out to serve.
Luke 15 continues to shape the way I lead: notice people, move toward them, include them, and celebrate what God is doing.
Pastor. Communicator. Builder.
Student ministry has been a major part of my calling, but I’ve always been drawn toward the health and mission of the whole church.
People before programs.
I care about pastoral presence, discipleship, relationships, and helping people know they matter to God and to the church.
Scripture for real life.
I love preaching biblical, practical, story-driven messages that connect God's story with the lives people are actually living.
Turning possibility into ministry.
I enjoy seeing what could be, bringing people together, developing leaders, and turning ideas into healthy ministries and systems.
Ministry should strengthen the people closest to us.
Being a husband and dad has deeply shaped the way I understand ministry. I want my life to reflect the same priorities I encourage in the people I pastor: presence, integrity, love, and following Jesus together.
I want to build people who build people.
Some of the greatest joys of ministry have come from walking with students and families over years, watching people encounter Christ, become leaders, build families, and begin serving others themselves.
