In April 2008, Jared accepted the position as college and outreach pastor at Heritage. Having grown up at Heritage, Jared is thrilled to be back serving and ministering in his home church. Jared graduated from Trinity Baptist College in Jacksonville, Florida in May of 2005. While in college, Jared worked on staff at Lifepoint Church in Tampa, Florida from September 2003 thru May 2005. After finishing his undergrad, Jared attended Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Fort Worth, Texas. Jared will receive his Masters of Divinity later this year.
In June of this year, Jared married his girlfriend of several years, Amanda. Jared and Amanda met at college and dated long distance for over three years. Needless to say, Jared and Amanda are excited that the long distance is over!
Jared’s desire is to make the college/young ministry at Heritage a relevant place where young adults can connect with one another in healthy relationships while serving and reaching our community for Christ. When away from the office, you can find Jared reading at a local coffee shop, spending time with his family and friends, and watching college football on Saturday afternoons.
