Jeff loves being a pastor and teacher--whether serving a local church or annual conference. His passion is to make disciples who spread scriptural holiness with their lives by introducing people to Jesus, discipling them to maturity in holiness, and helping them discover and use their gifts for ministry as we engage in the mission of Jesus wherever they live, work, study or play. He is most excited about helping people discover and experience the second half of the Gospel--not just being forgiven for our sin but also being freed to live a holy life.
