St. Mark’s Artist-in-Context
St. Mark’s has been awarded a grant from the Creative Arts Collective for Christian Faith and Life at Belmont University to host singer-songwriter Jon Guerra as an Artist-in-Context for the 2025-2026 program year.
Jon is a well-established friend of St. Mark’s, having hosted our “Lyrics for Lent” program in 2024 and series of pop-up “Listening Nights” in 2023. The core project for Jon’s residency over the next year is something we’re calling “Beauty As Well As Bread”—a series of nine nights over the course of the year that will be various combinations of song, poetry, stillness, reflection, lecture, and visual art; with featured guests ranging from scholars, painters, poets, priests, and fellow songwriters, all in Grace Chapel.
JON GUERRA is a singer-songwriter & producer who creates Devotional Music — less Sunday morning worship music, and more Monday morning prayer music.
Jon's debut Devotional Music album was Keeper of Days (2020), followed by Ordinary Ways (2023), and most recently Jesus (2025). Jon has also composed music for film (Terrence Malick's "A Hidden Life," 2019).
Jon collaborates with a wide variety of artists, tours regularly, is building a community around Devotional Music, and resides in Austin, TX.
