We warmly welcome Pastor Jess Joles as our newly installed Minister!
Jess and his wife Tricia have been married since 2003 and have three wonderful children.
Jess lived most of his life in Oregon from childhood through his college years. After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in Youth Pastoral Ministry from Western Baptist College (now Corban University), Jess began a 12 year career in the insurance and financial services industry. During the final 4 years of his career, Jess began to realize that God was calling him into ministry. In January 2013, Jess transitioned into full-time ministry as a Youth minister which would eventually lead to his serving in an associate pastor capacity as well.
In July 2016, Jess, Tricia, and their children moved to South Hamilton Massachusetts where Jess began studies at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary where he received his MDiv and Masters of Church History.
Jess enjoys spending time with the Lord in the Word, being with his family, golf, coffee, the Yankees, the Denver Broncos, and coaching baseball.
We are thrilled Pastor Jess has joined his ministry to ours during this exciting time!
