Episode 88: For Camden — A Conversation with Pastor Jon McClarnon

What does it mean to be “for Camden”?

In this episode, Alison sits down with Pastor Jon McClarnon, Lead Pastor of Christ Church Camden, to talk about mission, community, and why church shouldn’t feel intimidating.

Christ Church Camden exists to lead disconnected and unfulfilled people toward a full life in Jesus — and they believe that life can start right now, not someday.

Pastor Jon shares his journey from Missouri to Camden County, the growth of the church since 2018, and why unity among churches matters. They discuss the addition of a Thursday night service, the launch of an affordable preschool, and the impact of programs like Hope 1312 Closet and Care Portal in supporting foster families and meeting real needs in real time.

The conversation also explores Rooted, message-based small groups, and why you don’t need to have your life together to walk through the doors of a church.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected, unsure, or hesitant about church — this episode is for you.
