Jon & Tedi Stoe

Jon was born and raised in the land of 10,000 lakes, Minnesota. It was in his home church as a high school student that Jon gave his life to Jesus. He began teaching a high school Sunday School class to teenagers, which quickly turned into leading the youth ministry. After several years of volunteering in youth ministry he accepted God’s call to full time ministry. Jon and his growing family moved to the Kansas City area and he completed his BA in Religion at MidAmerica Nazarene University. For the past 30+ years of ministry he has been a youth pastor, senior pastor, church planter and evangelist/retreat speaker.

Today, Jon and his wife Tedi continue to follow God’s call but in a unique way. With their four boys now adults, they sold their house and are traveling, serving the church as God leads. Tedi works full time from the road and they both look forward to frequent FaceTime calls with their three grandkids.

Jon’s strengths/gifts are preaching, connecting with people, discernment, compassion and being an encourager. Having faced both the highs and lows of ministry, he understands the emotional dynamics and uncertainty life brings. He has a passion to reach the lost and to come alongside pastors and churches to bring truth from the Scriptures, encouragement, and hope. 

Jon’s life mission is to be living proof of a loving God.
