Jonny was born and raised in England but moved across the world on his own in 2007 to serve in ministry in Arizona. He then went to college in Oklahoma where he met his wife Mikki and moved to LA to work in youth ministry in the South Bay.

They moved up to Santa Monica in 2018 so that Jonny could work at Vintage; overseeing youth and family ministries, then community life and discipleship over the course of 6 years before moving back to the South Bay to lead the Vintage South Bay location. He is also our resident Creative director for our Sanctuary space,

Luke 1:76-79 has been a foundational passage as we have prayed into God’s heart for the people of the South Bay. Luke 1:76-79 - “And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him, to give his people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins, because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.”
