bio info


Jon Enter grew up in rural Minnesota wanting to be a doctor, until the Lord, during a youth rally in Colorado, turned his path toward using God’s grace to heal people. After he became a pastor in 2004, Jon focused on youth ministries to grow his mission church in West Palm Beach, Fla., where he served for 14 years. Fueled by his passion for encouraging youth to actively serve in church, Jon wrote “Transformed,” a seminar to equip youth leaders. In 2018, youth ministry became his full-time focus in his current role as a campus pastor at St. Croix Lutheran Academy, West St. Paul, Minn. He teaches senior religion, coaches football, counsels teens, and runs the mission trips program. Jon and his wife, Debbi, actively enjoy life with their four daughters: Violet, Lydia, Eden, and Maggie.
