Jeff grew up in Iowa regularly attending a church. The direction of his life changed drastically at age 15 when he became a born-again follower of Jesus. At that point, he knew the Lord was calling him to devote his life to vocational ministry. So far, that calling has led him on a journey that included pursuing education in Biblical studies and ministry, living overseas to help train church planters, returning to the US to pastor, and now helping to prepare Kingdom workers at RBC. Since 2015, he is thrilled to be joined in ministry by Jessica, who is not only his wife but also best friend. Jeff is excited to be able to play a part in God’s mission by helping students to grow and preparing them to go. His aim is to make his classes as practical and spiritually enriching as possible so that the students leave RBC more mature in their faith in Jesus and better equipped to reach others with the good news about Jesus.
