“Our God deserves the best we can give him,” says Woodside’s newest pastor, Jon Lepinski, who recently accepted the position as Worship Pastor. My job is to help motivate people to love Christ more than they love the things of this world, and to focus on the things that are eternal.”

Jon comes from Redding, California, where he has been serving as worship pastor for the last three years.

Before being called to Redding, he was based in Ohio as the front man for Broken Yoke Ministries, a contemporary rock group that travelled around the Midwest. They put on concerts at various venues such as clubs, schools, youth groups and theme parks and played with the likes of Third Day and Newsboys.

He and wife, Cindi, have four children, Gavin, Riley, Levi and Stella.

Jon officially starts this weekend.
