Soldotna

Campus Pastor

PASTOR Jonathan Garland

Pastor Jonathan Garland currently serves as our Soldotna Campus Pastor. He married the love of his life, Shannon, in 2000. Outside of a growing affection for coffee and CrossFit, they enjoy spending time with their four outdoorsy, often rambunctious, Alaska-loving children: Seth, Kate, Ethan, and Alivia. The Garlands moved to Palmer in 2016 to invest in training the next generation of ministry leaders with Alaska Bible College. Before their move, Jonathan served in Oregon as a youth pastor, camp director, and senior pastor. In 2025, they felt the call to move to Soldotna and launch our campus there. Jonathan loves leading others into a deeper, richer, fuller relationship with Jesus and is excited to run with the amazing Church on the Rock family.
