Children's Pastors
We are Jay and Jessica, and we are thrilled to partner with your family. Our mission is simple: we want to see the NOW Generation fully alive in Christ, moving in the gifts of the Spirit, and deeply rooted in God's Word. Together, we bring decades of experience in both education and ministry to create a safe, powerful, and incredibly fun environment for your kids to grow in faith.
Combined, Jay and Jessica have 59 years of experience in public education and over 20 years in kids ministry. They have five children and four grandchildren.
Meet Pastor Jay
Jay is a lifelong teacher, coach, and mentor who has been answering the call to preach since his teenage years. Known for his creative, witty style, he has a unique gift for grabbing attention and keeping kids engaged. He is passionate about sharing the love of Christ and training kids on how to live life God's way, all while having a great time in the process. On the weekend, you'll find him hitting the golf course, building projects with wood, or whipping up a batch of his famous homemade salsa.
Meet Pastor Jessica
Jessica is a seasoned educator with a Bachelor's in Elementary Education and a Master's in Educational Leadership. She believes with all her heart that children are a precious gift from God. Her passion is helping kids learn to hear God's voice, discover their unique, God-ordained purpose, and walk confidently in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit. On the weekend, you'll find her spending time with family, working in her garden, reading, or enjoying the great outdoors.
Our Vision for CCS Kids
"We don't believe kids have to wait until they grow up to experience the supernatural power of God."
At CCS, we aren't just babysitting, we are raising up fully devoted disciples. Our heart is to equip and empower children to walk in the Holy Spirit's power and confidently defend their Christian faith, to cultivate their gifts by anchoring them in biblical truth, and to help them build a meaningful, personal relationship with God so they know He is with them wherever they go.
