Jonathan Peppers

Teaching Pastor

Jonathan has served in pastoral ministry for over 25 years. The son of a pastor, he was raised in the church, hearing the gospel from his earliest days; by God’s grace, he repented of his sin and trusted in Christ as a child. In 1996, he married Alaina, and together they have three children: Paul, Megan, and Aeva Grace. Jonathan holds a B.S. from Clearwater Christian College (Music), and an M.Div. from The Master’s Seminary (NT Exegesis and Interpretation). He is currently in the process of receiving the Th.M. and Ph.D. (Biblical Theology) from Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is a professor of biblical studies at Arizona Bible College and a member of the Evangelical Theological Society. In his free time, he enjoys traveling, live-fire cooking (and eating what he cooks!), and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
