About our Pastor

The most memorable summer was working on staff as a counselor for Camp Wesley Woods; where his call to ministry was first experienced. He attended Asbury Theological Seminary in Kentucky and received a Doctor of Ministry degree in 2008. He has pastored churches in western Iowa and Nebraska before moving to the Quad-cities. His wife Susan works as a Nurse Practitioner and together they have 4 adult children and 11 grandchildren. They spend their free time traveling out of state to see grandkids.
Pastor Jeff is passionate about, preaching, leading small groups, Walk to Emmaus and engaging people in the mission opportunities offered at St. John’s and The Center. His hobbies include: relaxing at a campfire, hiking nature trails, gardening and woodworking.
