Responsibilities:
Associate Pastor for Children’s and Parent Ministries. Jared works with the elders to champion the vision for Sojourn’s children’s and parent ministries across all campuses and directs SojournKids at the Midtown campus. I want to see the kids of greater Louisville grow to know and love Jesus so that they don’t forget what He has done but do what he says. This means training children to love Jesus through Bible study, community, music, the arts, and service. It means training parents to make Jesus central in their homes. And it means training leaders who share a passion for showing Jesus to kids.
