Primary Speaker
Jonathan came to Word of Grace Baptist Church in 2014. He previously served in the ministerial roles of Church Planter, Associate Pastor, and Senior Pastor. Jonathan is a graduate of Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary (Master of Divinity with biblical languages and Doctor of Ministry).
Jonathan possesses a passion for the local church, desiring the church to be exclusively and holistically informed by Scripture in everything it does. Jonathan believes the gospel of grace must determine, shape, and assess that which constitutes a healthy church. He contends that faithfulness to the gospel of grace alone, by faith alone, in Christ alone nurtures the God-centered theology that must undergird the ministry of the local church. Thus, a healthy church is Christ-centered and scripturally informed thereby rightly aligning itself, by God’s enabling grace, for participation in God’s redemptive purposes.
Jonathan is committed to the expositional preaching and teaching of God’s Word. He usually works through books of the Bible in his pulpit ministry.
