Rev. Jon, his wife Bethany, and their children Ada and Shepherd will move to Beaufort this summer. Please take a moment to read Rev. Jon's bio is shown below - you will be impressed with his depth of experience. When you meet Rev. Jon in person, you will be impressed with his warmth, humility, and grace. He and his family will be a tremendous addition to Holy Trinity, as has been Rev. Joe and his family. Please pray for both families as they make big moves this summer, and welcome Rev. Jon!
