Father Jon Aamodt
Missionary Bishop and Priest
Hello and greetings in Jesus!
Along with my wife, Cheryl, I have served in Christian ministry for over 30 years as an ordained Anglican priest and Baptist pastor. I currently lead our new church plant in the Anderson, South Carolina, area. Over the years, I’ve ministered as a chaplain, church planter, speaker, retreat leader, senior pastor, teacher and football coach, worship leader, and youth pastor. I hold a Master of Divinity degree from Gateway Seminary (formerly Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary).

Our Purpose and Vision
Sharing the love of Jesus in Scripture, Spirit, Sacrament, and Service; and equipping the Church to advance the Kingdom of God in the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit.
We are a Spirit-filled, Missional, and Sacramental Worship Community—rooted in God's Word, alive in the Spirit, and committed to living out the love of Christ.
Core Beliefs
We are a new community of Spirit-filled, missional, and sacramental people who love Jesus and seek to follow Him together. Our desire is to live out His teachings in everyday life and to join in advancing God’s Kingdom through the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit.
Our faith is rooted in the timeless truths of Scripture and the witness of the ancient Church. Together with Christians around the world, we joyfully affirm the Apostles’ Creed and the Nicene Creed.
While we express our faith in fresh and contemporary ways, our foundation is the same enduring truth: “the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints” (Jude 3).
We’d love for you to join us as we walk this journey of faith, hope, and love together.
Our Tanzania Connection
We are grateful to partner with the Anglican Diocese of Biharamulo in Tanzania. Each year, Fr. Bob leads a mission trip to the diocese, strengthening friendships, encouraging local churches, and joining in the work God is doing there.
