Jonathan Howard
Lead Pastor
Our lead pastor is Jonathan Howard. He and his wife, Mandie, have been married fourteen years and have three kids: Lauren, Brady, and Audra. The Howards moved to Cincinnati from Georgia in January 2021. They love exploring the Queen City and believe it’s always a good time for Graeter’s ice cream.
Jonathan has served in multiple ministry capacities, including: Team Chaplain and Director of Basketball Operations for Mercer University Men’s Basketball, Children’s Pastor, and in 2021, Jonathan served on staff at Grace Point Fellowship in Franklin, Ohio. He holds a B.A. in Communications and a Masters in Divinity. Jonathan is the author of two books: “Living Mirrors,” and “Stepping Into Next.”
The Howards moved to Cincinnati because they believe saying “yes” to God is the best thing you can ever do.
