About Jonathan Whitten
Raised in a Minister's home, Jonathan learned at a young age to serve in his local church. This service-oriented education would prove to be foundational for his life and calling. Jonathan experienced a call into ministry in 2007. Jonathan began his formal preparation for ministry by attending Lee University, where he earned a Bachelor's of Science in Ministry. Following this, Jonathan attended Asbury Theological Seminary, earning a Master of Divinity with an emphasis in biblical exegesis in 2014.
​
In November 2020, after serving in numerous ministry roles since 2007, including Senior Pastor, Jonathan began sensing a new call from the Lord: a call to financial stewardship. The gifts were always there (Ephesians 2:10), even as a young boy serving in his local church, but the calling was new. Born out of personal experiences he faced while pastoring local churches, Jonathan was met with a new call to use his financial gifts to serve the Church and beyond. In January 2021, Jonathan began his formal preparation for this new calling by enrolling in the University of Alabama at Birmingham where he earned a Masters of Accounting in 2023.
​
Jonathan has been married since 2011, and together he and his wife have two sons. His family enjoys traveling together, playing games, and making new memories together. ​​​​​​​​​
