Jonathan Bond

Jonathan Bond was brought up near Bakewell in Derbyshire. Jonathan was a management accountant before his call to full-time Christian ministry. He undertook 2 ½ years on the job training at the church he attended in Leeds before, on his 40th birthday, becoming pastor of Jennyfield Evangelical Church, a smaller church in Harrogate. After nearly 18 years, he left to become FIEC’s Director for Smaller Churches. This role involves supporting, encouraging and seeking to be a blessing to some 300 churches within the FIEC (35 members or less) through offering advice, being the conduit for partnerships and supporting churches through revitalisation programs. Jonathan is still keen on sport, he is married to Sarah - they have 4 grown-up daughters and 5 grandchildren (2 girls and 3 boys).
