Jen began ministering as a college student with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, leading Bible studies, prayer gatherings, discipling students, and directing mission trips. She went on to serve as a missionary with Covenant Merge Ministries in Mexico, connecting ministries in Mexico, Guatemala, and the United States. She served as a pastoral intern in Wisconsin. She earned her MDiv at North Park Theological Seminary in Chicago. Jen enjoys photography, eating ice cream, science fiction, traveling, the Green Bay Packers, and fishing and hiking with her husband Rob.

Rob began serving in ministry when he was asked by his children’s pastor to teach Sunday school for three year olds as a junior high student. It was in that role that he began to discover Christ’s love for him as he participated in the ministry of the church. From there he served as a middle school director, youth pastor, and pastoral intern in five churches. He earned his MDiv at North Park Theological Seminary in Chicago. Rob is interested in history, running, good coffee, cooking, traveling, and fishing and hiking with his wife Jen. 

Jen and Rob met and married while in seminary, both pursuing God’s call to ministry individually. Now having a shared call to ministry, they are excited to serve Christ and His church together, using their varied individual gifts for the body of Christ.

James is the husband of Jessica and the proud dad of Marissa, Carlee, and Jenna.  Besides being our office administrator, he serves as youth pastor in a local church.  His passion is for students of this community and connecting them with their relationship with Jesus Christ.
