Lead Pastor
People often call me Pastor Jonathan, Pastor Jon, or PJ (which will be more than sufficient when we meet!). I’m the lead pastor of Grace and Peace, but my primary congregation is my beautiful wife Rachel and our eight children: Annamaria, Gabriel, Christabella, Angelina, Elianna, Emmanuel, Rosanna, and Nathaniel. I didn’t grow up in a Christian family so I didn’t hear about Jesus and His life, death, and resurrection for me. But through a friend God graciously converted me to faith in Jesus when I was 19, and He’s been working on my faith, my heart, and my life ever since. I love sports, especially baseball; I love food of all kinds (I like to enjoy “edible glory” as a good friend says); and I love spending time with my wonderful (and often loud) family no matter what we’re doing.
