Hi, I’m Jonathan, the Lead Pastor here at New Hope. I’m from Memphis, TN, but have lived in Queens since January 2018. My wife and I moved to Queens because we love the diversity of cultures and people, and all the good food. We believe Queens is a beautiful picture of what heaven will look like with people from every nation worshipping our Savior, Jesus Christ. That is what excites me about New Hope the most, a group of people from all different backgrounds coming together to worship Jesus and love one another authentically. My wife and I have 3 kids: Samuel, Levi and Ella. They are full of energy and bring so much joy to our lives. For fun as a family, we love to explore this great city and play at the park. For fun personally, I enjoy running and cycling, and reading a good book while sipping on some coffee.
