Virtues

Jon Middendorf

Jon has spent time with Methodist & Presbyterian youth workers on a number of occassions and has always made a great impact because of both his sharp and Biblical teaching and his warm and godly character.
Those who know him will be excited at the opportunity to hear him talk about how character is formed in communities and to help those in full time youth work to consider how this crucial topic applies to them.

Rev. Jon Middendorf is Senior Associate/Pastor of Student Ministries at Oklahoma City First Church of the Nazarene.  Jon is now serving in his second decade at OKC First.  He is an accomplished and in-demand speaker and author, most notably "Worship-Centered Youth Ministry: A Compass for Guiding Youth into God's Story".  Jon also serves the General Church as the Consultant and Coordinator of Team Nazarene Youth International Ministries - a ministry designed to train and encourage Nazarene youth workers.  Jon has spoken at previous Youth Ministry conferences for PCI and the National Youth Leaders Convention, as well as facilitating youth workers retreats for the PCI Youth & Children's Board and Methodist Department of Youth & Children's Work.
