Jon Urban joined the Indy Vineyard in 2026 as the new Youth Pastor after spending 9 years in Redding, California. There, he attended Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, then worked in Bethel’s Accounting office. He was introduced to the Vineyard through the church his family grew up going to in the Chicago area. He was also involved at Vineyard Church of Central Illinois during his undergraduate degree at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. Currently, Jon is working towards his master's in Christian ministry online at the University of the Cumberlands. He loves outdoor activities, whether that is hiking, camping, trail running, backpacking, or rock climbing. One of Jon’s favorite California activities was to go on backpacking trips in the different wilderness areas of Northern California. He was also a country swing dancing instructor who traveled every couple of months around the US to compete in country swing dancing competitions. He is excited to help these students learn who they are in Christ and foster a deeper connection with each other and God.
