Rev. Jonathan T. Olson

Pastor Olson was born in Texas and grew up in Indiana. He graduated from Wake Forest University (B. A. Economics, 2006) in North Carolina. He earned a Master of Divinity degree from Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Ind., in 2020. His vicarage was at Messiah Lutheran Church in Danville, California (2018-2019) under Rev. Peter Ledic. He was called to Hope Lutheran Church in Aurora, Colorado in 2020. In addition to theology, Pastor Olson enjoys studying church history. He is passionate about Christian classical education and teaching the Christian faith—with its peace, hope, and joy found in Christ Jesus—so desperately needed in the disordered world in which we live. Pastor Olson loves the mountains and enjoys being outside with family, barbequing, and playing soccer and other sports.
