OUR LEAD PASTOR

Jonathan Brooker | LEAD PASTOR

Jonathan Brooker is the lead pastor and founding church planter of Alive Church in Fredericksburg, VA. Though originally from central Pennsylvania and having graduated from Valley Forge Christian College near Philadelphia, Jonathan was living and youth pastoring in Maryland in 2014 when he sensed God calling him to leave all of the comfort and certainty of what was known, for a city he had never even heard of before.

The journey of starting with absolutely nothing and no one was certainly a daunting challenge for him as he dreamt of this church that God had given him a vision for. And while he (on most days) had faith that God would give the necessary provision for this vision, there was no way to imagine the wild ride that God would lead him on to see this life-giving church now become a reality.
