Pastor Jon has served as the Lead Pastor of Hope City since the church began. His heart is to create a church where people from every background can encounter God’s presence, grow in their faith, and find authentic community.
He has a deep love for God’s Word and a passion for helping people discover that following Jesus isn’t just about attending church—it’s about experiencing a transformed life through the power of the Holy Spirit.. His teaching is practical, biblical, and filled with the hope of the gospel, always pointing people toward a deeper relationship with Christ.
Beyond the platform, Jon is a thoughtful leader who loves investing in people one conversation at a time. You’ll often find him at Heritage House Coffee with a book close at hand, learning, writing, or meeting with someone from the community.
Jon and his wife, Amy, have been married for almost 30 and have two adult children. He is also the author of We’re All Heroes In Our Own Story and Coming Home and enjoys sharing biblical encouragement through his blog.
