About Jordon Cooper

Biography

Hi, my name is Jordon Cooper. I currently live in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada with my wife Wendy, son Mark, and dog Maggi.

I was born in Edmonton, lived in Calgary and eventually landed in Saskatoon with my family in 1984. Despite living in Saskatoon since 1984, I still think of myself as a Calgarian.

I attended Aldersgate College, Central Pentacostal College and the University of Saskatchewan where I studied theology. I went on to pastor Lakeland Community Church in Spiritwood, Saskatchewan, and worked on the staff of Lakeview Church in Saskatoon.

Resonate gets mentioned a lot around the site and it is a network that I founded with friends in 2005. Out of Resonate have grown a bunch of cool projects like Cultivate Gathering, Resonate Press (first book coming out in 2008), an emerging church documentary, a great place for finding images for worship and the arts, an alternative seminary (coming in 2008 as well), and a lot of people connecting and dreaming up things to do with the emerging church in Canada. Resonate in some ways summarizes what I do best, bring people together of like minds and see what happens.

Along with the contributions to Resonate, I am also a part of the Emergent Village Coordinating Group which does to the chagrin of fundementalist readers of this site, make me a Friend of Emergent.

My primary work now is working for the Salvation Army Community Centre. I also spend a lot of my not-so-spare time doing some work on political campaigns (in 1995, I was a provincial candidate for the Progressive Conservative Party), lecturing, writing, taking photographs, being an activist against stupidity, and recently being invited to lots of conferences.
