J.T. Mallinson
Lead Pastor
“My family joined Multiply Church in 2017 as owners (members) and then I joined the pastoral staff in July 2020. I grew up in Wyandotte, living off of 18th and Central for most of my life. After getting married and moving to Topeka for several years, my family returned to Wyandotte with a desire to see God do more in this community than we had ever imagined being possible!
I met Amy during my senior year of high school and we have been married since 1999. We homeschool(ed) five amazing kids, including a daughter now in college, twin boys that are seniors this year and two more boys ages 13 and 9. I was previously part of a leadership team and a community groups pastor with a church plant in Topeka Kansas.”

My family and I are deeply committed to serving Jesus and His people, particularly through the energy and hope of Kingdom Kids. Whether I am at home or serving at Multiply, I find peace in the foundational truths of the 4 G’s:
God is Great: So I don’t have to be in control.
God is Glorious: So I don’t have to fear others.
God is Good: So I don’t have to look elsewhere.
God is Gracious: So I don’t have to prove myself.
I also strive to embody Philippians 4:8 (NLT): “…Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” By fixing my thoughts on the 4 G’s, I am reminded daily that my identity is found not in my performance, but in the goodness and grace of God.

“I am from Bryan, Ohio, but I have lived in Wyandotte for 10 years now. I am married to Mikkel and we have two boys, Lincoln and Landon. I work as a Math teacher at Arrowhead Middle School in KCK.
When I originally moved to KCK, I was attending a church but didn’t sense God's calling upon staying there. As I began to pray, God opened the door for an invite to Multiply in early 2017. Since then, it’s been amazing to see God's vision, provision, and hand upon so many people and their lives as we begin to choose to follow Christ more faithfully.”
