Jon Birkmire
Lead Pastor
Jon has been serving in ministry for over a decade and is deeply honored to be part of the Anthem Church community. Because Anthem has played such a significant role in his own faith journey, he’s passionate about teaching the Bible, developing leaders, and equipping people to reach those who are close to them but far from God.
He’s especially excited about the opportunities in Gainesville to uniquely share the Gospel and inspire people from all walks of life to discover and follow Jesus.
