About Jeff
Jeffrey is a native of Roseville MN who early in his teen years experienced Christ’s presence and love during treatment for Leukemia. In that experience he sensed a call into ministry to share with others the love and presence of Christ in that season. Jeff and Lisa met and fell in love in college and have been married for 10+ years and have three active boys, Jonas, August and Elias.
Jeffrey earned his undergraduate degree in Philosophy and Religious Studies from Bethel University. He continued into seminary and attended classes at Gordon Conwell, North Park and finished his Masters in Divinity at Bethel University.
Jeffrey has had the pleasure of serving in 3 church ministries in the past 15 years. He has worked at a church plant, a Christian college and on pastoral staff at two Covenant Churches. All of these roles have had pioneering aspects to them where he has helped to create and develop teams, services and ministries, and Jeffrey feels that all of these experiences had been preparing him for this exciting new call to plant a church back in the region where he grew up.
Together with Lisa he eagerly looks forward to this exciting opportunity to share the love of Christ with the city they know and love so well. Jeff enjoys creatively telling people about the message of hope in Christ and is particularly drawn to settings and people who may have never had a chance to hear and embody the good news before, or need to hear and see it in fresh new ways.
