Ellen and Jon have been partners in much more than marriage for over 3 decades. In 2018 a series of events changed their lives forever. God spoke clearly on where they were to move but not so clear on what was about to happen.

Their lives were changed dramatically and the Holy Spirit started the work of changing their hearts. Although they had both been following the Lord for most of their lives, this was different. God was placing in their hearts a love for "Lost Church Members". A longing for the body of Christ to be engaged, equipped and empowered to impact the world.

In November of 2020 an elder of the new church they were attending spoke to them about what God had laid on his heart. Three words - Start A Business. Church Messenger became the reality of a vision that had been birthed in Jon and Ellen for some years. They partnered with their local church working with the pastor and the church staff to build what is now a communications platform and so much more.
