The award-winning Christian music group Avenue announces an upcoming lineup change as Jon Mattingly steps away from the group to spend more time at home with his family. Founding members Kasey and Haley Kemp expressed their heartfelt gratitude for Jon’s dedication and the joy he brought to every stage, song, and moment shared during his time with Avenue. “We are incredibly thankful for Jon’s heart, talent, and friendship,” said Kasey and Haley. “Our families’ bond extends far beyond the stage, and we wish him all the best in this next season of life. Our friendship is eternal.” As Avenue moves forward, the group is excited to welcome Jonathan C. Smith — a talented singer, songwriter, and musician — to join the ministry. Jonathan brings years of musical excellence and a strong heart for ministry. His friendship with Kasey and Haley spans more than five years, making this transition a natural and spirit-led step for the group. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to have Jonathan join us,” said Kasey. “His passion for worship and his commitment to sharing the hope of Jesus align perfectly with Avenue’s mission.” Avenue remains committed to bringing heartfelt messages of faith, hope, and encouragement through their music and ministry as they begin this new chapter together.
