Jonathan Kladder

I grew up in a Christian family, located in a small town in Grand Rapids, MI. Attending a local church and Christian school, I gave my life to Christ when I was in middle school. Throughout my life, I try to exhibit a Christian life by following Christ's example for how we should treat one another and love each other. As an active musician, I attempt to use the gifts of music to worship Him and bring others into a place of worship where they can experience the Holy Spirit moving in their lives. My hope is that how I live my life, I will set an example for others to believe as well.
