Leadership

Clergy & Lay

Rev. Jon & Amber Spallino

Jon has served in ministry for more than 16 years in a variety of pastoral, discipleship, and leadership roles within the local church. He is currently a transitional deacon in the Anglican Church in North America pursuing ordination to the priesthood and is the founding pastor of Christ Our Shepherd in Lebanon, Tennessee. Amber has served in church planting as well, but most recently has led women in discipleship, written discipleship curriculum that walks through the Scriptures, and inspires families to pursue foster care.

Deeply shaped by the Anglican tradition, we are passionate about forming disciples through Scripture, sacrament, prayer, and everyday faithfulness.

As Christ Our Shepherd grows and develops, we will be growing our team!
