Our Staff
Jon Morton
Pastor
Pastor Jon Morton is a North Carolina native but grew up throughout the Southeast in Virginia, Georgia, as well as both Carolinas.
He preached his first sermon at just 13 years old, proving to be the catalyst by which the Lord called him into vocational, pastoral ministry where he has faithfully served for nearly twenty years.
A graduate of Liberty University and Baptist Theological Seminary, Pastor Jon has earned degrees in the fields of Biblical studies, discipleship, Christian education, and professional ministry.
His greatest loves include his wife and high school sweetheart of more than 15 years, Brittany; as well as their five children Monty, Zoë, Josiah, Seth and Steven. Jon is a voracious reader and writer, and enjoys leading worship, graphic design, and family movie nights.
As a family, the Mortons strive to fulfill their mission to love God, love others, teach the Word and reach the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
To every congregation and gathering of believers where Pastor Jon is privileged to serve and speak, their family seeks to demonstrate and share that life is not about us…because it’s ALL ABOUT JESUS!
