Jonathan Whitley, Senior Pastor

Jonathan began to follow Jesus early in life through the gospel witness of his mother and a local church. He sensed a call to vocational ministry while serving on a mission trip in high school. Since then he has served local churches in various roles from janitor to senior pastor for over 25 years. While in college, he met his bride, Tara, and since their union in 2001 they have had the privilege of raising up a godly heritage both in the church and in their own family, including their four children - Ross (2010), Clay (2012-2015), Graham (2014), and Hope (2017). Jonathan believes God has called him to help people identify and live out his or her true calling to see and follow Jesus into every area of life. Jonathan holds degrees from Truman State University (BA), Reformed Theological Seminary-Charlotte (MDiv), and is a doctoral candidate at Covenant Theological Seminary (DMin).
