Jennifer’s passion for ministry lies in building relationships, serving others, preaching, and leading worship. When she’s not connecting with visitors, the community, and those in need, she finds joy in spending time with her family: her husband, Robbie, and their three incredible children: Austin (wife Katie and soon-to-be grandson Grady), Gracie (husband Bubba and grandchildren Sadie and Jackson), and Carson. Her favorite place is anywhere on the lake. She also enjoys writing poetry and prayers, camping and winter sports with her family, and is an avid runner, having completed several half marathons and numerous 5k and 10k races. Before answering her call to ministry in 2012, Jennifer spent sixteen years in healthcare as a Medical Sonographer and college instructor.
