Jon and Lindsay Birkey

God first called us to Arizona to share the love of Christ with Native American children through camping ministry. In 2019, God put on our hearts to use our administrative talents as the Chief Program Officer at the Christian Community Center in Peoria, AZ. 

The Christian Community Center is a place where aged out foster children find love, hope, and community. Our mission is to meet the physical, mental, social, and spiritual needs of young adults aging out of foster care to successfully transition into independent living. We collaborate with like-minded Christian organizations to provide life skills training, counseling services, housing, spiritual care, and a safe and loving community.

In January of 2022, Jon took on the role of Area Team Leader (ATL) for Southwest Ministries. He leads the missionary staff for both the Native American ministries and Christian Community Center. The ATL oversees the administration responsibilities of the field, leads the team in developing ministry strategies, and develops partnerships with other ministries to enhance Southwest Ministries kingdom impact.
