(B.B.S.; M.Min.)

Nathan is a part of our International Leadership team serving as associate international leader. He, alongside his beautiful wife Natalie, is the associate pastor and ministry director of Times of Refreshing Christian Center. 

Nathan originally moved to New York on a dance scholarship. Nathan’s experience as a dancer, choreographer, singer, and songwriter span the world. As a featured soloist, he has performed all over the world for the last 20 years and at significant events such as Cutting Edge Composers III at the NYMF Festival in New York City, the Sydney Royal Easter Show, Pacific Youth Opera, World Youth Day, Australian National Rugby League (National Anthem soloist), and the United Nations Universal Peace Federation Awards, The Today Show (NBC), The Today Show (Aus), So You Think You Can Dance (Aus), and many more. He has trained in dance at iconic schools such as: Broadway Dance Center, The Edge LA, Millenium Dance Complex, IDA Hollywood, The Ailey School, and Debbie Reynolds Dance Studio. Nathan has performed with and assisted the world’s best choreographers and teachers and has danced with artists such as Chris Brown, Rihanna, Jessica Mauboy, Channing Tatum (Magic Mike), and many more. 

Nathan has had extensive experience as the head instructor, artistic director, and choreographer at Next Level Generation Performing Arts Company (NLG) in Sydney, Australia, a company he helped found with Dr Robyn Kassas. During his years with NLG, Nathan creatively directed and choreographed for TV shows, live concerts, musical theatre, arena concerts, and festivals. He also trained and taught over 300 students each week and has conducted master classes and workshops all over the world. 

Not only is Nathan an expert in dance and movement, but he has also trained in classical voice at the Sydney Conservatorium Of Music, Pacific Youth Opera, and continued studies at The Juilliard School in New York City. 

He is currently the worship pastor of Collide Worship -- the sound of our church in NYC -- and can be seen leading worship at our Sunday Services, during broadcasts, and at all major events. 

Nathan is the oversight for all ministries. He is a powerful minister with over 20 years of experience traveling the world moving in the prophetic, freedom and deliverance, transformation, and counseling, under the mentorship of his parents. 

Nathan is also a gifted teacher. He has a unique gift in communicating many unknown processes behind how the supernatural and science work in tandem. He has pioneered and taught groundbreaking courses and seminars for our School Of Apostles and Prophets such as: Spiritual Roots Of Disease, Hearing God Through Your Dreams, God’s Purpose For The Arts, Connecting The Dots, Davidic Worship, Kingdom Emotions, Prophetic Parenting, Real Relationships, and many more. 

As the director of the School Of Apostles and Prophets, he works closely with Dr Robyn Kassas –the president and dean–to help create, facilitate, and administer current and new courses and programs. This includes guiding students through their coursework and practicum and teaching lecture sessions. 

His gift of being a “jack of all trades” has led him to influence many different ministry arms within our church. Nathan established and continues to spearhead our technology initiatives such as TORCC TV, SOAP Online, The Portals Podcast, Dipping Night Online, TORCC.org, Season Casting, and our in-house church management system and database. 

He works closely with transformation teams equipping them with powerful truths that set people free and bring healing. He works side by side with our senior leadership in counseling and mentoring leaders and members alike. He has a passion to see each believer no longer a victim but living as a victor in Christ Jesus. 

He has a Master of Ministry from Christian Leadership University and is currently in the process of completing his Doctorate of Christian Counseling/Psychology and Doctorate of Theology. 

Nathan is crucial in the building of church vision, culture, and reach. His call as an apostle is seen by the way that he pours into and guides all of our teams both locally and internationally -- building a team culture that is encouraging, mature, accountable, and relational. 

He lives in New York City with his wife Natalie and their three amazing children -- Keren, Levi, Ezekiel, with their fourth child on the way. 

Jonathan is the Creative Pastor of TORCC. He and his beautiful wife Ashley are deacons in training and are involved in leading each part of the creative and production teams. 

Jonathan is a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York, he graduated with a BA in Illustration. His design skills and artistic vision gives him an edge when he ministers to the Body of Christ.  While other prophetic ministers primarily speak the word of the Lord – Jon prophesies in pen, pencil, brush and photography.  He is also a very capable prophetic minister through the spoken word. He is the founder and director of “Second Breath Art” where he and other trained artists use their God-given talents to illustrate the prophetic word of God. He has been in demand by churches and other ministries to teach his method of prophetic illustration and using it to engage the voice of God. 

Jon, or “JP” as we love to call him, joined the team at TORCC back in 2014 and has had one of the most remarkable transformations we’ve seen since our founding in 2010. Through the love of God and beautiful shepherding of our Senior Leadership, Jonathan was able to live behind an alternate lifestyle and embrace his true identity in Christ Jesus. He has seen that truth doesn’t change based on experience, and is thankful for the Holy Spirit revealing Himself the way that He did. Now Jonathan is ready to share his powerful testimony with others that are stuck and caught in cycles different lifestyles. He is excited to share there is hope and that hope is...JESUS!

Jonathan also recently married his amazing wife Ashley Brandford in May 2019, and together they are being prepared for more pastoral and leadership responsibilities. 

Jonathan is the main overseer of the creative, media, and production arms of TORCC. He directs all illustrations, visual concepts, and graphic design. In addition, he works closely with Ps. Nathan Kassas in the production of TORCC TV, and is in charge of all Service Broadcasts, Live Tapings, Short Films, Documentaries, etc. 

He also is the chief designer on all graphic media produced by our team which includes: logos, branding, design, concept, graphics, visual presentation. Jonathan works closely with Dr Robyn Kassas on Canaan Land Prophetic Journal and the Annual Season Casting Prophetic Blueprint to uniquely but clearly communicate what God is saying. He helps to shape the face and the look of our ministries to the world. Basically if anything requires film, media, graphics, visual concept, or art...Jonathan is there. It’s for this reason that we like to call him our “Visual Worship Leader”. 

Jonathan works with his team to bring the message through creative and visual expression with clarity and power.
