Jon Geraci
High School Pastor
Jon was born in Upland, California and grew up in a Christian home. Jon was involved in church functions all throughout childhood. Growing up as the “pastors son” put a large spotlight on his life. Jon thought he could put on the “Christian Face” on Sundays, and be a slave to his flesh the rest of the week. It wasn’t until freshman year in High school, after attending a South Dakota Missions trip that the Lord got a hold of Jon’s life, and he surrendered everything to Jesus.
“It wasn’t until Jr. High that I started the beginning of my rebellion. I didn’t care that I was deliberately disobeying my parents or sinning against the Lord, I just wanted to be a slave to my flesh. To me, Christianity was a joke. I remember one night I was in my parents basement crying out in fear for my life. It was like the Lord was showing me my future and all I saw was death. God spoke to me so clearly that night; ‘Jon, your sin is killing you! You’re not guaranteed another day to live.’ It was then, in my parent’s basement that I gave my life completely to the Lord.”
Jon graduated from Calvary Chapel Bible College in Murrieta California and worked as the Jr. High Pastor For Calvary South Denver for 2 1/2 years. Jon and his wife Carolyn were called to Charleston South Carolina to help Pastor Richard Perea with his church plant. Jon worked as the Youth Minister and the Young Adults Pastor while serving with Calvary Chapel Charleston for 2 years.
Jon Geraci is now an Associate Pastor at Calvary South Denver and oversees the Youth Ministry and Pre-Marital classes. His heart is to reach out to the lost and dying world. God has put a burden on his heart to minister to all age groups and for them to see the love Jesus has to offer through His Word. Jon lives with his wife Carolyn and they are expecting a baby this July.
