Lead Pastor

Jared began following Jesus at the age of 24, finding freedom from a life of rebellion and sin. Through Christ, he discovered true satisfaction, truth, and lasting hope. He married his high school sweetheart, Corey, and together they’ve been blessed with ten children.

In the summer of 2012, Jared and his family moved to Northwest Arkansas, where they found the perfect place to call home. Jared has a passion for mountain biking, and one of his sons shares a love for skateboarding. These shared interests have led them to attend action sports ministry conferences, where they’ve been praying and seeking how God might use them in this unique mission field.

God eventually called Jared into full-time ministry and church planting. He now serves bi-vocationally while managing Skylight Cinema in Bentonville, where he helped launch the theater from the ground up. Several of his children also work alongside him there. This job has been an answer to prayer—providing for his family while allowing Corey to homeschool and opening the door to future ministry opportunities, including a location for a worship space.

You can find Jared spending time with his family, out on the trails, or connecting with the community around Bentonville, AR.
