His wife, Erin, is a small business owner and a full-time mother of their two children, Olivia & Jack. The son of two drill-sergeants, Jon is a life-long pluviophile, estate-pipe restorer, hymnbook collector, and apiarist.

Pastor of Student Ministry

Micah began serving at Cross & Crown in 2023. He grew up in southern California and Cleveland Ohio, then moved to Louisville Kentucky where he has been pursuing a B.A. in Biblical Studies and a MDiv. at Boyce College and the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. He met his wonderful-in-every-way wife Morgan during his freshman year though they took a while to get to each other (ask them about their story--they love talking about it). Morgan grew up in beautiful western Michigan on the lake and recently graduated from Boyce College with a B.A. in Global Studies. Micah and Morgan have one son, dream of having a big family, and of serving the Lord overseas in Bible translation to unengaged peoples one day.
