Rev. Jonathan Schaeffer, D.Min
Dr. Jonathan Schaeffer was elected the thirteenth president of The Christian and Missionary Alliance in May 2025 and is grateful to be part of a family of almost 2,000 churches reaching out locally and globally.
For 25+ years, Jonathan served as lead pastor at Grace Church, a multi-campus, multi-ethnic church on the southwest side of Cleveland, which launched several additional churches in that region. His journey with Jesus began in elementary school when he was shaken by the death of another boy his age . . . and ultimately discovered the joy of life in Christ. The sixth of nine children, Jonathan frequently expresses gratitude for the gift of parents who lived with integrity and spiritual passion, and he credits their example as a catalyst for his spiritual growth. He completed studies at Capernwray Bible School (certificate), Columbia International University (BA, MA), Alliance Theological Seminary (MDiv), and Trinity Evangelical Divinity School (DMin).

Brian McMillan
Lead Pastor, Centerpoint Church
Brian McMillan is the founder and lead pastor of CenterPoint Church, a multicampus church with seven locations across Long Island, New York. Since its founding in 2002, CenterPoint has grown from a congregation of five people to more than 3,500 in one of the least-churched regions of the country.

He also serves as the Church Planting Director for the Metro District of The Christian and Missionary Alliance.

Brian is passionate about developing leaders, planting healthy churches, and helping pastors reach people in spiritually resistant communities.
Jonathan Weibel
Director, Front Yard Mission
Jonathan Weibel is an Alliance pastor and the author of the book Front Yard Mission; Jonathan encourages believers to see their neighborhoods as their mission field, their workplace as sacred and their commonalities with others as the front door to the church. Alongside his writing and speaking ministry, Jonathan brings laughter and encouragement through clean stand-up comedy that is hilarious, uplifting, and rooted in a biblical worldview. His comedy special is called Hugging Strangers.
Jonathan has been a touring musician, jingle writer, youth pastor, worship leader and planted three churches in Central Pennsylvania. He is married to an outrageously beautiful and gifted wife named Suzy (she promises she didn’t write that part.) She is an author/speaker, drummer, dog lover, and is on tour with the ministry True Girl. Jonathan and Suzy live in State College, Pennsylvania and have two daughters, two grandsons and four Bernese Mountain Dogs.
