Jonathan King

I began following Christ my Junior year of High School after attending a week of Young Life summer camp in British Columbia, Canada. God used Young Life in the formation of my faith, as well as providing a wife (Shelley - married 10 years this May) and my first job (Young Life staff - 14 years). Shelley and I have 3 boys - Jackson (7), Sam (5) and Charlie (2). I am co-owner of a construction company in Wilmington (Crawlspace Medic). My family has attended Christ the King since Spring 2015 - we became members in the Fall of 2015.
