Church consultant. Leadership strategist. Ministry trainer. Mentor. Published author. A life of experience brought to the work of helping others lead well.
EXPERIENCE WITH PURPOSE
Understanding the weight of leadership.
Pastors and ministry leaders carry responsibilities that rarely fit neatly into a job description. They care for people, guide teams, make difficult decisions, and work to keep the church’s vision at the center of daily life.
Rev. Jonathan L. Watkins brings decades of leadership and ministry experience to these conversations. Through JL Watts Enterprise, he works with churches, nonprofit organizations, and leadership teams to clarify direction, strengthen organizational practices, and prepare people for meaningful service.
His work connects church consulting, leadership training, strategic mentoring, and deacon development. The aim is practical: help leaders understand what needs attention and build the capacity to move forward.
As an author, he extends that work through books about deacon service, accountability, family preparation, and forgiveness.
