We like to say Jonathan is a man of many talents. Dr. House loves spending time with his wife and family. His hobbies include homesteading, wood working, virtual reality and all things tech. He has a wealth of knowledge about many subjects, and runs a farm and other small businesses. He is a great steward of time and resources which makes him a perfect fit for leading River Bluff Fellowship in our stewardship of resources. The attitude and work that flows out of our heart during the week is an act of worship according to Romans 12, which makes him equally suited to lead our congregation as the Worship Pastor. Jonathan holds degrees from Southwest Missouri State University and Trinity Theological Seminary.
