Profile
Jonathan Sargeant is Director of Lay Education. He advocates for faith formation as central to the ministry of every Anglican parish, curates resources and develops new programs that grow faith.
Jonathan has ministered as an educator for the Anglican Church Southern Queensland and beyond, since 1996. He passionately advocates for intentional faith formation, nurtures the 360 Project workshops, (a raft of learning seminars), creates online short courses for St Francis College and tends the FormedFaith website. He also lectures in Practical Theology; subjects such as Theology and the Arts, Christian Education and Youth, Culture and Mission.
He wrote the bestselling Religious Education Teachers Orientation Program and The R2 Program for Anglican religious education teachers as well as the FAIS (Formative Anglican Induction for Staff) program, facilitated with thousands of Anglican school staff members and Anglicare senior leaders.
In his spare time, Jonathan reviews films and pop culture and writes and performs music with The Dolby System, a synth-pop band described as “the sound of galaxies in heat death, time exploding and a good cup of tea.”
