Pastor Jeff's ministry began at Union Hill in 2021 after serving at Tyndale UMC, New Moscow UMC and Conesville UMC. He continues to be involved in Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Jail Ministry and has been a member of the River View and Sugarcreek Ministerial Associations.

Pastor Jeff was born in upstate New York and met his wife, Sherry, in a Sunday School class in Illinois over 30 years ago. They have 3 adult children: Rebekah (husband Jake), Summer and Gary, two grandchildren, Calib and Isabella and many foster grandchildren.

Sherry and Pastor Jeff enjoy hiking and he is an avid sports fan. His life verse is Romans 15:3: May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.


FUN FACT: Pastor Jeff was a store manager for Steak and Shake before the Lord called him into full-time pastoral ministry!
