Jonathan is in his 18th year as the Lead Pastor of Crosspointe Church in Cary, NC - a fully-affirming, inclusive, non-denominational community in the Raleigh/Durham area. Early on in his ministry, Crosspointe hit all the celebrated, evangelical, church growth metrics - recognized as one of the fastest growing, mega churches in the nation. However, as he and his core team's faith shifted and , eventually they had to choose between maintaining unity/security or trying to lead the community through dramatic change that actually aligned with how they understood it means to love like Jesus. They chose the latter. And although it came with great cost, Crosspointe survived and exists today as a healthy, curious community of faith actively engaged in a wide range of social, racial, and economic justice issues trying to show up with love the best they can.
