Aaron grew up in Overland Park, Kansas. He earned BA and MA degrees at the University of Kansas (Rock Chalk!) and a PhD at the University of Cincinnati.

Aaron enjoys reading, playing 6am basketball with colleagues, learning new spreadsheet formulas, drinking good coffee, trying new foods and, especially, exploring new cities with his family.

Cameron Going

Cameron serves as the Lead Pastor at Bethel Holiness Church in Columbus, IN. He and his wife, Khara, graduated in 2022 from God’s Bible School and College. They have one daughter, Madilynn.

As a Hoosier native, he enjoys all things Indiana. Whether it’s grabbing a famous Indiana pork tenderloin or keeping up with IndyCar, there is always something he’s interested in. Cameron likes to fish, explore new places, attend auctions (a real practice in self control), and go to classic car shows!

He’s so excited to be a part of Youth Challenge this year and can’t wait to meet you!

Jay Slagenweit

Jonathan grew up in central Pennsylvania as a teenager. He was introduced to Youth Challenge by his pastor, John Manley, who also had a profound impact on his life as a mentor. His first time attending Youth Challenge was when it was held at GBS.

Just prior to his college graduation, he married his college sweetheart, Tonya, and they’ve been married for twenty years now. After earning his BA in Pastoral Ministries from Hobe Sound Bible College, he served as youth pastor for seven years at Hobe Sound Bible Church. In 2014, he and his family moved to Easley, SC, to pastor the Easley Bible Methodist Church, where he continues to pastor. He is the proud father of four boys.

Jonathan enjoys a good cup of coffee every morning, spending time with his family, and using his hands to build things.
