Kathryn Fonville is a devoted wife, mother, and mentor living in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. She and her husband, John, have been blessed with six children, whose ages range from 11 to 27. Kathryn holds a Master’s degree in Christian Counseling and is deeply committed to faith-based mentorship and family life.
A passionate advocate for education and community involvement, Kathryn serves on the School Board at Providence School in Jacksonville, Florida, where her children have been students since 2004. Her husband, John Fonville, is an ordained Anglican minister and serves as the pastor of Paramount Church in Jacksonville. Together, they are part of the Anglican Church in North America and are active in their church and local community.
Kathryn’s heart for mentoring was shaped from an early age by her father, the late Stuart Epperson Sr., whose legacy of compassion and outreach left a lasting imprint on her life. Alongside her mother, Nancy, Stuart welcomed underprivileged and fatherless children into their home—modeling the power of love, presence, and faith. Kathryn fondly recalls childhood memories of her father gathering neighborhood kids in a van for church, always with a stop for Krispy Kreme donuts along the way.
Today, Kathryn continues to live out her father’s legacy by investing deeply in the lives of her own children and extending that same spirit of mentorship to their friends and the broader community. She believes that the foundation of effective mentoring begins in the home and radiates outward—building stronger families, friendships, and neighborhoods rooted in faith and care.
