In 2003, Jonathan became the lead pastor at Grand Advent Church in Oakland, CA, where under his leadership, the congregation expanded from 25 to 400 members, focusing significantly on aiding the homeless community.

He returned to PUC in 2014 as the lead chaplain, then served at the Vallejo Central SDA Church in the Bay Area for five years.
