Jon grew up in a small town east of Indianapolis, Indiana.  His parents were relatively recent converts who quickly exhibited true fruit of the Spirit in their lives.  As a consequence, the home was a godly one, and Jon had the privilege of conservative Bible-believing Christianity displayed all around him.  Growing up in a Christian home, however, does not make one a Christian.  After attempting for several years to obtain salvation on his own terms, Jon accepted Christ as a teenager at Northland Christian Camp in northern Wisconsin.  At that point, he realized that repentance and faith, not good works, were the requirements by which God granted forgiveness.

 

 As a newly saved teenager, Jon sensed God’s call to minister to other teenagers who needed the gospel.  He attended Bob Jones University to train for God’s calling and future ministry.  While at BJU, Jon and Deb met.  Deb (Baker) grew up in Greenville and was also a student at BJU, studying English and music.  They were married in 2005 and currently have three children. 

​

Over the course of a year spent traveling from church to church in musical ministry, the Lord reinforced the desire for additional training and led the Reddicks back to Greenville so that Jon could pursue a Master of Divinity.  Over the next 6 years, the Lord allowed them to minister with young people while working and taking classes.  They were called to join the staff at First Baptist Church of Lewes in January of 2013.
