Lead Pastor

​Pastor Jon is married to Becky and they have three children, Abigail, Noelle, and Naomi.  They live in Fishers, Indiana. 

​In 2012, Pastor Jon and his family moved from Wisconsin to help start Journey Ministries.  "The focus of our family and of Journey is to influence lives for Christ.  We know how important it is to be intentional and to obey God's commands to 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength' and to 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'   We are grateful for His grace, mercy, and forgiveness in our lives and celebrate with the many people experiencing this same gift from God."

Gregg Horstmeyer 
Born and raised in Ft. Wayne, IN. Went to Indiana University and then graduated from Indiana Dental School in 1982. I have been lucky enough to have the privilege and pleasure of being married to my wife, Joyce, since ;1989. We have one son, Philip, who is now 26 and an engineer at Lilly. He makes us proud every day of our lives. I was blessed by two loving parents who negotiated a non-optional agreement that we would all attend a Missouri Synod Lutheran church every Sunday of our lives. I have continued that tradition my entire adult life. I was a founding member of Holy Cross Lutheran Church where I served as Vice-President for 6 years and then had the privilege of officially joining Journey as a member in 2019.

Jay Smith is married to Michelle. We decided that we needed to find a place of worship that met both our needs.  I thought I was “comfortable” with fire, brimstone and traditional organ.  Michelle wanted somewhere that was more intimate, contemporary and upbeat.  After discovering Journey, I realized that I was looking for the same. I’ve never had such close relationships with my Pastor and congregation before. Also, I have had the opportunity to serve in unique ways.  I look forward to continuing to serve our Lord with you.​​

Holly Fisher is married to Todd and they have two children, Nick and Kelly.  They live in Fishers.   "Journey has played a very important part in our family’s lives.  Both of our children took confirmation classes and were confirmed here.  The sense of belonging to a close-knit family of God is evident when we walk through the doors.  Journey is a wonderful place to worship, socialize, and grow in our relationship with God."
