Jonathan was born and raised in the bitterroot valley. Jesus saved him in middle school but it wasn’t until he got to college in California that he experienced intentional, gospel-shaped discipleship through a campus ministry. He met and married his wife Joy during college and they came on staff with the ministry after graduating in 2012, where they served for about 8 years. They moved their family home to Montana at the beginning of 2021 to join the GCF staff and be a part of what God is doing at the University of Montana through Sovereign Hope. Jonathan loves sharing Christ with and discipling college students, particularly in the context of the local church. He and Joy have 3 young kids, Jonah, Lily, and Boaz.
