Pastor Jonathan E. Hutchins was born in Auburn, Maine and was raised traveling around the USA and Canada in the home of a bi-vocational church planting pastor’s family. At the age of 11, after becoming a follower of Jesus Christ, he felt the call to pastoral ministry. Later after high school he attended bible college and graduate school for his theological studies, met and married his wife Patty in Concord, NH, and went on to become a church planting missionary in Brazil for 15 years. From Brazil they moved to work in a creative access country in Northeast Asia until returning home in 2019 to continue their work and ministry in Concord, NH. In August 2021, Living Hope called Jonathan to come and shepherd the dear people of Living Hope.
