Pastor Jonathan Mills and Family

Pastor Jonathan Mills and FamilyI love being the senior pastor of this great church!
I have one beautiful wife, Kim. Together we have two wonderful children, MacKenzie and Wesley and they keep us very busy!

I grew up in a pastor’s home and attended Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, Oklahoma. After college, I participated in various churches and ministries in Los Angeles, California; New York, New York; Danvers, Massachusetts; and Nashua, New Hampshire. God called me to the ministry after I worked in the secular world for a number of years and I think that my experiences in the workplace are an important asset to me as a pastor.

I have served as an interim pastor in Maynard and Wareham, Massachusetts, and have pastored in Chestertown, Maryland. I was called to Newark in August, 2005. I have also had the opportunity to do ministry in the Dominican Republic, Bermuda, and Hungary.

For some pastors it seems that pastoring is a vocation. It's not a vocation for me. Preaching God’s word and leading God’s people is a desire placed in my heart by God himself. It is my desire to present God to people in a joyful, excellent way through each service and every program at Newark Nazarene.

I love life, laughter, and participating in many activities – spending time with my family, reading, writing, and playing golf. I'll be very disappointed if there's no golfing in heaven.
