Pastor Jonathan Hunt was born and raised in Buffalo. After graduating from Bennett High School, he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree at Roberts Wesleyan University and then a Master of Divinity degree from Asbury Theological Seminary. In July 1982, following a couple years of teaching New Testament Greek at Asbury, he became the pastor of the church that would become Open Arms Community Church. Jon became a follower of Jesus as a child and then rededicated his life to Christ as a teenager. It was after this new experience of God's forgiving love that he heard The Lord calling him to become a pastor. Pastor Jon loves to talk with others about Jesus' great love for everyone!
