Workshop Co-Leader

Returning to a Heart of Worship

Jon Richards

With over 25 years of experience as a Worship Leader, Jon now serves as the Senior Pastor at Village Church in Sacramento, CA. Although he rarely leads worship from the stage these days, Jon is deeply passionate about the Word and strives to instill sound doctrine through congregational singing. In 2023, Village Church launched LEAD Academy, a multi-track, theologically rich training program for prospective worship leaders and elders.

Jon's background as a recording artist in the Nashville country music industry brings a unique blend of detailed experience and broad perspective to his ministry. He is married to Adriene, and together they are the proud parents of three young adult sons: Micaiah, Gabriel, and Nathanial.
