Jonathan Foster is the husband of Mellissa and the father to Jad, London and Barrett.  He loves and is passionate about leading others into authentic worship.  He works with our volunteers and helps cultivate the worship culture at our church.  He loves spending time with his family, watching crime dramas with his wife and listening to music.  He is from Florida and is a die hard Jacksonville Jaguars fan and loves the Florida Gators.  He is not really outdoorsy, but given the chance and the right event, I am sure he would easily be swayed to join in.
