Jon's passion is to help pioneering church planters and existing pastors become more effective at making new disciples among populations not likely to visit existing churches.  After twenty years leading various expressions of the local church in Williamsburg, VA, Brussels, Belgium, and Hollywood, CA, he now focuses on coaching others while continuing to be a local practitioner of missional disciple making in his local community. 

Jon is an Associate Certified Coach with the International Coaching Federation and a Certified Church Planter Coach with the Fuller Church Planting Initiative.  Jon consults with networks and denominations, as well as coaching individuals and church teams.  

Jon authored Positively Irritating: Embracing a Post-Christian World to Form a More Faithful and Innovative Church.
