Dr. Jonathan Denton has been serving in student ministry for over 20 years and is an associate professor of Christian Studies/Student Ministry at CSU. He is the author of Ancient Text, Modern World: Building a God-Centered Worldview in a Me-Centered World. He desires to train up the next generation of student ministry leaders who will be disciplemakers and leaders of healthy ministries that see students and their families brought into a relationship with God, built up in their faith, and sent out to make Him known. Denton was able to see this as a reality by serving over ten years in a South Mississippi church before his current position at CSU. He is married to Amanda, and they have two children, Josiah and Baxter.
