Jonathon Brown is the lead pastor of Pillar Church in Holland, MI. After a long history marked by division (specifically between the Reformed Church in America (RCA) and the Christian Reformed Church in North America (CRC)), Pillar reestablished itself in 2012 as a dual-affiliated congregation of both denominations. Jon’s heart for reconciliation beats with Pillar’s heart in this.
Jon loves preaching (recently publishing a book on the matter - “Missional Preaching with a Missionary Congregation: The Word in Worship for the World”) and walking with people through all of life’s circumstances. He encourages and invites people to follow Jesus in community on mission.
Jon and his beloved wife, Kristyn, are the proud parents of 4 daughters: Lydia, Tabitha, Miriah, and Ava. He enjoys reading, running, golfing, watching college football, and having fun with his family. He has been the keynote speaker at a number of events including, The Nicaraguan Pastors Conference of the Moravian Church, The Cascade Family Bible Camp, Maranatha Christian Camp, and many events at Hope College. He also occasionally teaches preaching courses at Western Theological Seminary. He completed a Doctoral degree from Western Theological Seminary in Holland. Urging the church forward to participate in the mission of Christ in the world is where Jon finds the deepest joy and greatest sense of purpose.
Cascade Family Bible Camp's registration is all online and easier than building and launching a rocket with your seven year old. You can register to camp in your tent or RV, or choose to stay in a comfortable cabin. Along with inspiring speakers and great kids programs, Warm Beach Camp is a great outdoor facility with plenty to do. And, yes, you can actually make a rocket with your kids, shoot it high into the crisp July sky on Sunday afternoon as spectators cheer, and then watch as it slowly descends into one of the nearby towering cedar trees.
For 2024 the board of Cascade Family Bible Camp is offering your entire camp experience for 25% off to first time attenders. We believe that once you experience the joys of our camp you won't ever want to miss another summer.
