Pastor Jess is passionate about walking beside people as they seek to faithfully follow Jesus. She loves small group studies, intergenerational ministries, and being involved in the area communities. She holds office hours at all five parish churches to be more available to the congregations and the communities. Jess entered ministry in 2009 and was ordained as an elder in full connection in 2012. Bishop Kennetha Bigham-Tsai and the cabinet appointed her to our parish in 2021 as we were beginning to come out of the worst of the pandemic. Jess feels greatly blessed to be serving in her hometown area.
