Our Founder

With more than 17 years in Worship Ministry, Jonathan Dudley has dedicated his life to creating spaces where God’s presence is both honored and experienced. Beginning his journey as a teenager, he has grown into a trusted voice for congregations and choirs alike, blending passion, skill, and vision.

A proud Ronald E. McNair Scholar, Jonathan studied History, Music, and Religious Studies at Beloit College, where he explored how faith, culture, and music intersect. That foundation fuels his work today as a worship leader, songwriter, and music consultant, equipping ministries to cultivate worship that is both authentic and sustainable.

Outside of music, Jonathan serves as a Special Education Teacher at North Lawndale College Prep in Chicago, where he also founded and sponsors PVOP (Phoenix Voices of Praise), the school’s gospel choir. His dual commitment to education and ministry reflects his heart for developing people both spiritually and academically.

Jonathan is a proud member of Main Baptist Church of Aurora, Illinois. In every role—whether in the classroom, the choir stand, or the pulpit—Jonathan remains committed to excellence, authenticity, and the transformative power of worship.
