Jonny Cagwin
DIRECTOR OF CAMPUS MINISTRIES

  Jonny grew up just north of Pittsburgh in Wexford, PA. One of five children, Jonny experienced home, private, and public schooling. He received his B.A. in Family Studies (now titled Human Development and Families Sciences) from Messiah College. While working on his undergraduate degree, Jonny volunteered with YoungLife (working with high school students) at Boiling Springs High School. After graduating college, he worked for a commercial roofing company as a mechanic and runner so that he could continue his work with YoungLife students. He met a "sweet girl" named Emily and they married in the summer of 2005. Emily currently works at Exkursion, an outdoors store in Monroeville, PA. In August of 2006, Jonny joined the CCO. Through a partnership with CCO and Church of the Ascension, Jonny has been able to create a dynamic ministry to college and university students in Pittsburgh's East End. Jonny loves the work that he is able to do among the students, primarily because he knows just how valuable these formative years can be in a person's life. He has a heart for welcoming students, providing community, and sharing how following Christ changes the whole way we do things. When not at work, and sometime when there as well, Jonny enjoys being outdoors, throwing a frisbee or football, and enjoying anything that has to do with sports. His favorite class in college was a month long hiking and trekking trip to Kauai lead by OLT staff of CCO.
