When Jon was ordained as pastor of Christ’s Center, he wanted to do it on one condition - that he be allowed to have a co-pastor – something he was strongly advised not to do. Instead of listening to the counsel of those he was accountable to, he decided to do it anyway. This all came to a head 14 years later when the church split right down the middle.

With half of the members following Jon, and the other half following the other pastor, it seemed like a devastating situation for everyone involved. It was during this time that the Lord brought the Christ’s Center leadership back to the basics of desperately seeking God in prayer for the direction of their ministry.
