      Jonathan began serving as lead pastor at Little River Church in November, 2015. Orignially from the County, he grew up potato farming with his grandfather, cross country skiing and exploring the woods near Caribou, Maine. He graduated from the University of Orono with a BS in Engineering Physics.
