He planted a church in Oregon, Applegate Christian Fellowship, that turned into the biggest church in Southern Oregon. His style of ministry and method of preaching is quite simple and yet profoundly deep. He preaches through the Bible verse-by-verse at his church and he speaks with such joy in his heart. Pastor Jon has the greatest laugh and conveys a true sense of warmth in his preaching. He ministers to thousands through his church, radio program, speaking ministry, and through the books he has authored.
