Lon W. Flippo is the President and Founder of the Christian parenting organization. Lon completed his Doctor of Ministry at the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary, Springfield, Missouri. He also earned a M.A. degree in Communications from Missouri State University. The inspiration for the iParentNow project was drawn from his own parenting experiences and walking with parents through the tough times that often arise when the children become teenagers and young adults.

Lon is an ordained minister with extensive experience working with families, young couples and parents — as well as children — in the context of the local church. He is a father of two children who has served families in churches for 25 years as a senior, family life, children’s and youth pastor. He and his wife reside in the Twin Cities metro area (Minnesota). Lon currently teaches at North Central University, Minneapolis, Minnesota. Formerly, he served as senior pastor of Maranatha Worship Center, Wichita, Kansas; Family Life Pastor at Family Community Church, San Jose, California; Family Life and Children’s Pastor at Northview Christian Life, Carmel, Indiana; senior pastor in Beech Grove, Indiana, and as the National Children’s Ministry Director of the Assemblies of God.

Lon’s wife, Chris, is a blog contributor. Chris earned an M.A. in sociology from the College of William and Mary
