Since beginning youth ministry in 2010, Jon has honed his ability to connect with and inspire the next generation, serving in various pastoral roles at City First Church in Rockford, IL for 10 years and Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC for 5 years.
A New Chapter in Tennessee
In March 2025, Jon and his family relocated to Franklin, Tennessee, where they are helping plant and build their new home church, Holy Saints, while launching new ministry and business endeavors from that foundation.
Jon is driven by one bold question: “What if the next MrBeast knows Jesus?” It’s not just a hypothetical — it’s the mission statement behind everything he’s building.
Manna Creator Club
Jon is the founder of Manna Creator Club — a nonprofit and ministry designed to resource, train, and partner with Christian content creators to help them reach people online and build the local church. Through camps, coaching, and cohorts, Manna Creator Club discovers and develops the next generation of Christian creatives.
The vision is to build a culture — and eventually, a system — to raise up Kingdom influence at scale through digital media.
The Fortnite Bible Podcast
As a content creator himself, Jon’s newest project is The Fortnite Bible Podcast on YouTube — a show that merges gaming, culture, and Scripture in honest and entertaining conversations. It’s exactly the kind of creative, outside-the-box ministry that makes Jon’s approach resonate with a generation that grew up online.
