Pastor James & Pastor Jenn
God called James and Jenn to the Columbus area in October of 2021, after having served in the Chicagoland area for 16 years. They both grew up in the Willamette Valley area of Oregon where they attended rival high schools. In 2023, they celebrated 30 years of marriage and have two daughters both in their 20’s. The youngest moved with them to Columbus while the oldest stayed in Chicagoland.
James was called into the ministry at the age of 8, but that plan took a detour when he decided to join the Air Force. After serving nearly 5 years as a firefighter, God spoke into his life through a series of life threatening moments, and called James back into ministry.
After hearing God’s voice, and with a renewed passion for ministry, James and Jenn began their journey toward pastoring. James began attending Life Pacific College, where he earned an Associates Degree in Biblical Studies and received credentialing through the International Foursquare Church.
Since then, James and Jenn have both earned the highest level of credentialing with The Church of God, Cleveland, TN. Jenn serves as the Family Ministries Pastor and has been honored to be a speaker both at camps and conferences. In 2022, James graduated from Pentecostal Theological Seminary with a Masters Degree in Church Ministries and is currently working on obtaining his Doctorate of Ministry.
Their journey to Columbus has been filled with many unexpected turns, but God has shown His hand throughout each step. They are passionate about helping people find their true purpose in a relationship with a loving Father.
