Making vocation your vocation, featuring Fr. Jonathan Melton
In January 2023, Fr. Jonathan Melton was called to serve as the 8th Rector of St. James Episcopal Church and School, having previously served for 15 years in a variety of settings, as rector, associate, and university campus minister in both Wisconsin and Texas.
An East Dallas native, Fr. Jonathan is a skilled listener, connector, and lover of the Gospel. He dabbles in guitar and stop motion animation, majoring in family life (he and his wife Rebekah are busy raising four kids) and, well, probably just that. But he loves to read, write, and hike, and is always up for coffee with new friends.
A lifelong Episcopalian, Fr. Jonathan studied economics at Wheaton College and has an M.Div. with a concentration in Anglican/Episcopal Studies from Duke Divinity School in Durham, NC.
