Jonathan McGuire grew up near Jackson, MS, in a Presbyterian pastor’s family. He attended Calvin University in Grand Rapids, majoring in history and political science before transferring and graduating from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago with a BA in pastoral studies. He received his Masters of Divinity from Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson. Jonathan served first as an assistant pastor and then as senior pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Belzoni, MS, a lovely farming community and “The Catfish Capital of the World.” While pastoring in Belzoni, he also taught history, English, and geography at a local high school. After seven years as a Presbyterian pastor, he moved into classical education as the Dean of Students at Providence Classical Academy in Louisiana.
Jonathan is excited about Capstone’s emphasis on pursuing a Christian classical education as students learn of the order and grandeur of—and reason for—our created world and use all they learn to create works of beauty for themselves, their communities, and God’s splendor.
When he’s not serving at school, Mr. McGuire enjoys adventures with his family, Detroit Red Wings hockey, arts and crafts, woodworking, and science fiction.
