YOUTH PASTORS
Hi there! I am married to Chad and as he said, we've got two boys, Alex and Tanner. I work at Meta Payment Systems as a Senior Product Manager. We also have a houseful of dogs, a bird, and fish. I like to knit, scrapbook, read, and hang out with all my favorite folks! It's been such a blessing to be part of our AMAZING youth group, and I am so very proud of everyone! I love working with my hubby to provide support and encouragement to our youth group, always working for His glory! Whether you're a newbie or a long timer, I look forward to getting to know you better! May He bless you today and always. Love and prayers, Jen
Hey everybody, I'm Chad. I currently work at Diamond Mowers. I have a degree in Environmental Management and am an ordained Pastor. I am married to Jen and have two boys, Alex and Tanner. I enjoy many hobbies such as fishing, snowboarding, playing bass, and restoring old VWs for starters. I want to help youth to learn and grow in their faith in God and His son, Jesus. This is accomplished by His hand through lessons at church, learning techniques for sharing faith with family and friends, and going on mission trips and other projects throughout the year. It will not all be sitting in the youth room. We will go on outings every now and again for some fun, just to take a break from lessons. Come and enjoy some fun and fellowship with us! In Christ, Chad
