Our Pastors

Jon grew up in Egg Harbor Township, NJ before studying political science at York College (PA) and Miami University (OH). It was in college when Jesus saved him and redirected his life toward ministry. He loves good chats about theology, pop culture, and everything Seinfeld over a good cup of coffee. Jon met Kirsten, and they got hitched, for which Jon is a qualitatively better person. Together he and Kirsten share the joy of being the parents of Trevor, Kaiah, Amelie, and Talia.

Before coming to Maranatha Grace, Jon and Kirsten served as missionaries in Jamaica. After a three years of ministry they moved to Louisville, KY where Jon completed an MDiv. degree at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

They have a passion to see people’s lives transformed by the radical, beautiful grace of God. They are thankful to be part of the Maranatha family, and want to live life together on mission to the glory of God.
