Raised between the suburbs and the inner city of Kansas City, Jon Nelson attended a local Baptist church and there quietly declared his atheisim. Not until college did he read the Bible cover-to-cover which began his journey towards Jesus. After coming to Christ Jon immediately made some changes that has led him from atheist to a pastor. Years later, Jon has graduated from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary after leaving Westside Family Church as the College, Young Professionals, and Single Adults Pastor.
Jon is a passionate communicator, innovative thinker, and the leader of communities that call participants to lives that make much of the glory of God. Jon endeavors to be a resource enabling people to effectively reach their community by leading biblically faithful and culturally relevant lives. His greatest joy outside of Jesus is being married to his wife Heather and being a dad to their children.
Jon is available to help your church, school, university, youth group or conference. Check out our speaking page for more information or use our speaking request form to tell us about the opportunity you would like for us to prayerfully consider.
