Jonathan Swena Joins Iowa-Missouri Conference Team

The Iowa-Missouri Conference is pleased to announce that Jonathan Swena joined the team as Information Technology director on Feb. 1, 2025. His experience spans multiple IT areas, with a specialization in cybersecurity. Swena has a proven track record of implementing technology solutions that support ministry needs.

“Technology and security are constantly evolving, and I believe each challenge presents an opportunity to better serve our churches and schools,” said Swena. “I’m excited to join the team and contribute my experience to ensure our digital systems effectively support our mission of sharing the gospel.”

Swena graduated from Southwestern Adventist University with a degree in computer science, focusing on cybersecurity. Before accepting this position, he worked with academic and church technology systems, where he developed expertise in managing multi-site networks and supporting the unique technology needs of Adventist institutions.

“Adding a full-time IT director is an important step forward for our conference,” said LaQuita Anderson, conference treasurer. “With Jonathan’s expertise, we anticipate enhanced efficiency, improved security, and greater opportunities to use technology in service of our mission.”

“Whether I’m solving complex technical challenges or enjoying nature, I’ve learned that patience and persistence are key,” Swena shared. His approach to problem-solving combines technical precision with creative thinking, influenced by his outdoor pursuits.

When not supporting conference and church technology needs, Swena enjoys fishing, camping, disc golf, biking, and sharing his technological expertise with others in the community.
