My passion is Jesus, my calling is worship, and my desire is to make His name famous. I love Jesus and people. I am passionate about telling them about His love, His grace, and the rescue that He’s provided us with. There’s nothing more exhilarating to me than to lead people in worship and help them engage with their Creator through music. My desire is to make His name famous wherever I am, or wherever I go. His name is the only name worth lifting up. Thanks for taking the time to read this Resume. Just like you, I am searching and praying for the best fit in ministry. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to know more. Looking forward to seeing what God has in store.

Grace & Peace, Jon Lloyd
