Jonathan Koch

 

  • Jon has two children, Josiah and Jeremiah. Josiah is a graduate of Penn State and works at Penelec Electric as an electrical/mechanical engineer.
     
  • Jon met his wife at Church youth group at Calvary Baptist in Reading. Their first date was a hayride.
     
  • Jon's favorite hobby is drag racing, building cars, and woodworking. Jon has spent countless hours doing various jobs in our church.
     
  • An interesting fact about Jon is that he had kidney cancer when he was 39 years old and unfortunately his wife died from breast cancer. The things he likes most about Salem are all of the talented people here and Pastor Gary. If he could change people, it would be to get rid of political correctness.
     
  • Jon came to know the Lord when he was 8 or 10 years old and if he could ask God a question, it would be: “Why did you let my wife die of breast cancer? What was I to learn from it?”

Thinking you may be in need of a Savior?

All you have to do is ask...

"God, I know I've disobeyed you, and I'm sorry for what I've done. I know I'm a sinner in need of a Savior and only Jesus can save me. God, please forgive me and give me eternal life. Thank you, Jesus for dying for me. From this day forward, as an expression of my love for you, I will make a sincere effort to follow you, allowing your teachings to shape the way I think and act.   Amen."
