Jonathan Olsen
I’m Jonathan Olsen. 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.

Sherwin Kwon
Hi! My name is Sherwin, and I’m an associate pastor here at Grace and Peace. I grew up in a Christian home, but it wasn’t until my high school years that God, my sin before him, and Jesus’ forgiveness of me became the most important realities in my life. I grew in my faith, met my college-sweetheart and now-wife Judy, and sensed God was calling me to be a pastor. We’re from New York, but moved to Philadelphia years ago, have four kids (Nathan, Noah, Nico, and Carrie), and love being here. In my spare time I love reading and watching all kinds of TV and movies. Grace and Peace is our family, and I’m grateful I get to be one of her pastors, and part of her mission.

Ben Shackleton
My name is Ben Shackleton. I got connected to Grace and Peace several years ago, and over time the people here have become like family. I love this neighborhood, especially the people and the pickup basketball games and food. I believe that God loves us and that he tells us to love one another, and I’m honored to play a small part in spreading the good news of his love in South Philadelphia and beyond.
