Traci Bennett - Damascus Road Ministry Center / Church (Derby, KS)
Pastor Traci is a deep-faith, down-to-Biblical-Principals pastor, walking with God daily and immersed with the Holy Spirit. She is genuine, loving, and gracious, with a powerful ministry and wonderful musicality. I'm always comforted by her and her prayers are spirit-filled and powerful. Even during times of tremendous grief, her faith in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit shine through with much love and grace. I consider Pastor Traci to be a dear friend, not only to me, but to all she comes in contact with. Her love for her fellow man is evident in all that she does and she is strongly support by her husband and family in her faith walk. I thank God that He lead me to Pastor Traci after we moved from Seattle to Derby in 2021! Finding a new church with the love of Christ, Godly values, open friendliness, and the Holy Spirit moving is not always easy; but God give us Pastor Traci within six months after our move and we are very thankful!
Kenneth and Sonya Holloway - Like Him Church (Ponca City, OK)
I grew up in church with Kenneth Holloway and his wife, Sonya Holloway, as spiritual leaders in my life. At our previous church, they served as youth leaders, music leader, and then as assistant pastor. In 2021, they answered God’s call to take His ministry to new heights. They started “Like Him Church” , a place where people love, live, and serve like Him- The Most High. They’ve opened up their hearts and home, for people to come and worship and study the word. They have an unwavering love for their community and have invested 25 years in ministry. I can’t imagine where I would be without Pastor Kenneth Holloway and his wife, Sonya. I have experienced God’s love through them and consistent support and spiritual guidance. May God continue to bless all their endeavors.
Chris Brewster - The Well-OKC (Oklahoma City, OK)
I have known this man since I saw him in high school. He is a bold leader, is fiercely loyal and continues to bring God's Word to youth and now to families for more than 30 years. He loves to serve others and his professional career in education allows him to minister in the marketplace just as effectively. The volunteer position of pastoring our church has made his life richer and has granted us life-long friends and musicians. Though leading a church is a very difficult task - he wouldn't trade it. God has strengthened him for the work and he is a great example of being a willing partner with any church or organization that wants to do Kingdom work. I love him very much and work to facilitate him in any way with our large family, keeping a strong marraige and with all the service opportunities presented to us. I believe he deserves some honor and things that will bring him joy! Thank you for offering this to pastors!
Dc Unknown - The house fm. The house of praise (Ponca city ok.)
Because dc is honest and caring and he always gives me the encouragement when I need it most. DC also plays the best songs when I am down. I have a mental illness. And DC brings me closer to God with his words of wisdom.
Joseph Highley - First Lutheran (Ponca City, OK)
I am nominating Pastor Joe because he is an incredible Pastor! He faithfully preaches the word of God every Sunday, and throughout the week he walks alongside his parishioners in their faith. No matter what’s happening in his life inside or outside the church walls, his attention is always on his flock. His sermons are full of Gods truth while still being down to earth and relatable. He takes the time to talk with people and answer any questions they have. He loves his church and all her members, young and old alike. He encourages young families to bring their noisy and squirmy little ones into the sanctuary, enjoys spending time with the youth group (after all, he will always be young at heart!), and loves his time with our older members of the congregation as well. He has encouraged me personally, and nurtured my faith in many ways. I can feel confident coming in to church knowing that whatever he preaches I will be able to understand and trust to be biblical truth, and whatever questions I have he will make sure I am able to understand before moving on. Pastor Joe and his family have been such a blessing to us at First Lutheran!
Donald Knott - Branded Cowboy Church (Lucien, OK)
Our pastor hasn't always served the Lord with gladness. He has had life situations that were difficult but through it all he never lost his faith. He was on the committee to start a cowboy church with every intention of supporting whoever became the pastor when it became apparent, God was calling him. We had this confirmed by several people. He has been the pastor here for around 8 years. This congregation has grown and currently serves all ages. We have young couples with children, up to people in their 80s. Don has a community approach doing a Fall Fest every year with a band and free supper. We do a hayride in the fall for the younger kids. This is a Christ Centered Community church loving on those who wouldn't ordinarily darken the doors of a traditional church. Don is relatable and speaks to everyone God's love.
Don Stanton - Faith Tabernacle (Ponca City, Oklahoma)
Dons messages are always on point straight from God's Word. More than that though...his marriage to his wife is a great example of how God says it's supposed to be. Don is always there for his congregation and it's inspiring. Don has opened my eyes to so much and caused me to want to make changes in my life!!! Don't and Norene are absolutely wonderful Pastors and I'm beyond great full that they are following what God has called them to!!!
Josh Melendez - Open door church (Enid, OK)
I love my pastor because he selflessly serves, not just the youth students, but in any way that the church needs. He treats all the students as his own children and cares deeply for them, attending all their ball games and events and being the first to volunteer at their schools. His testimony of how God led him to be the student pastor has inspired me and so many others!
Duane Costello - Temple (Shawnee, OK)
He and his wife, Shelly, have recently accepted our pastor position and have come into a fragmented church. They are actively seeking God for our church direction. They have had much spiritual warfare in this season, yet they are remaining strong in their faith and following God's direction. Even with much opposition and kid gloves, I am proud to have them as our Shepherds on earth for our church.
James Yoder - Antelope Valley Bible Church (Billings, Oklahoma )
Hard to pick just one thing! He's energetic, a true man of God.
Terry Longan - Crossbrand Cowboy Church (Stillwater, OK)
Our Pastor Terry Longan is a wonderful pastor, he came to our church about a year ago amidst struggle within the church and a recent unexpected resignation of our church leader. Pastor Terry takes his position with the church very serious and prays diligently over every message he gives us. He came into our church while we were amidst chaos, in a temporary location, he came in and helped us to get into our permanent church building that had been a work in progress for close to a decade! This past year has been filled with major health problems for pastor but he and his wife, Karen have still put the church at the top of their priorities. They have prayed for members with heartache, illness, tragedy, financial struggles among other problems just as much as they pray for themselves. We would love to honor Pastor Terry and his sweet wife and show our appreciation for them and all they have done for our church and members. Many pastors would have just walked away from the chaos but not them, they are the first to stay and work through the problems. The church and congregation are so grateful to them and for them!

Arlin Stacy - Pawhuska Life Church (Pawhuska, OK)
Pastor Arlin is the most caring pastor I have ever known. He always makes himself available whenever anyone needs him, even though he is also the principal at Collinsville schools. He came to the hospital to see my brother (who was not a parishioner of our church) and was instrumental in guiding him to be saved before he died of lung cancer. He is such a good man in general and applies it to every member of our church.
Kyle Megenity - Newpoint Church (Ponca City, OK)
Kyle started Newpoint Church around 10 years ago and it has to be the fasting growing church in the county, possibly the state. His mission is to help people find God and teach them to walk with him step by step. Not only is he impacting the adults in the community, Newpoint youth has over 100 kids on Wednesday nights when it was just 10 or so like 4 to 5 years ago. The work he is doing is amazing not just in my life but so many others.
Michael Carpenter - Lost Creek United Methodist Church (Stillwater, OK.)
Pastor Michael just started the first of July. He came here with his wife, 2 sets of twins plus another child , all under the age of six, from Nebraska. He hit the ground running, and attendance has increased greatly. He has seemingly endless enthusiasm, passion and energy for his church and his congregation and community.
Dakota Marsh - Life Fellowship (Weatherford OK)
No one gets left behind in their walk with God. But we have to seek The Lord every day to bring the lost in our paths so we can take as many souls as we can with us. As a Christians we’re a team!!!
Justin Romaine - Open Door Church (Enid, OK)
Pastor Justin is an amazing pastor because he leads us with humility. He doesn’t want the spotlight, the accolades, or the recognition. He does so much behind the scenes with our media, our website, the look and feel of our Sunday services, recording humorous videos, printing shirts and creating designs. One of the most meaningful things he does is videography and he gives people opportunities to share their stories and he captures them beautifully. He also preaches, teaches, leads small groups at church and our local college campus, and he prays for all of us. He’s an amazing husband to his wife Elizabeth and a wonderful Dad to his son Judah and they are expecting another one on the way! At the end of September, he had a hiking accident while camping with his family and he broke both wrists in a fall. He had surgery and was at church the following Sunday and didn’t skip a beat! He’s a great friend and a great guy! We appreciate all he does for our church!
Charles Gonzales - Victory Worship Center (Ponca CIty, OK)
Pastor G is absolutely amazing!! His teaching and preaching The truth encourages and challenges me to walk closer with Christ and deepens my love for Him and desire to grow. Pastor also helps with the wonderful program of Strong Dad's. We love Pastor and hope he wins, he deserves thus and sooo much more!!
Coty Nguyen (Winn) - First Church of Lamont (Lamont, OK)
Although Coty Nyugen (pronounced Winn) is new to us he is a dynamic teacher of God’s word.
He is always looking for ways to bring more people to God, adults, teens and children.
He is married to a beautiful lady, Molly, who is also our pianist. They have four children, three boys and a baby girl.
He is still going to seminary at Tulsa but seems to always be there when we need him.
I think he and his wife need a night out together and hope he gets drawn for your wonderful prizes.
Tom LeGrand - Garber First Baptist Church (Garber, Ok. 73738)
Pastor Tom has been our pastor for many years. We are so blessed to have him as our pastor. He has such a servant’s heart and he truly loves the Lord. When we come to Sunday morning worship we can always come expecting to hear a word from God. And God uses his messages in a mighty way.
Jimmy Nance - Covington Community Church (Covington ok)
Pastor Jim works with the youth and encourages them to walk with Jesus. We recently baptized 7 in one Sunday.
I love music and he encourages us to let the Spirit lead. We are blessed 🥹
Jack Hibbs - Calvary Chapel Chino Hills C (chino ca)
We had been looking for a church and went to so many. We saw the church being built and we drove by each night after work. It happened on the first teaching we have never looked back. We may have moved 6 hours away and still are able to see his teachings as we share the word with our family members and friends. Even people we do not know. It so refreshing hearing the truth. We are blessed with his teachings. God Bless Jack and his family!
Mike Marker - 1st Baptist church burden (Burden, KS)
I've been raised in the church my entire life- Sunday mornings, evening, Wednesday nights, and any other church event available ETC.... I thought I knew what being a Christian was and living a "Christian lifestyle". However, after getting married in 2015 I was living in Kansas and my husband and I got invited to a very small church out of Burden, KS. WOW! Were our eye completely opened to what a true biblical church was. I remember leaving the service that day and my husband and I looking at each other completely taken back. Neither of us having ever sat through a message so powerful and directly from the word of God that it shook us. Ever since then we've called Pastor Mike our teacher. God has truly blessed him as a vessel to teach and preach the bible in a way that you can understand, absorb, and truly make life changing adjustments to live as Christ did. It's not always easy hearing what he's teaching that day, but it's necessary. Necessary to ensure that we are living as Christ wanted and to secure our eternity in heaven. Pastor Mike has answered his phone during the middle of the night, day, and always gives BIBICAL guidance- no sugar coding it, but directly from the bible even when it's hard to hear. He has literally dropped his entire schedule when we called, turned his truck around and drove hours to Oklahoma to come pray with our family and help us through a season of loss of a parental figure. He humbly goes to teach and pray weekly with the veterans, prisoners, and other populations that many forget or neglect. I learned more in 6 months about being a TRUE Christian and living for Christ than in my entire life. I wish every church had a preacher/teacher like Mike. He has truly help us grow as individuals, as husband and wife, and I'm so thankful we went to that church that day.
Justin Pickup - Osage Heights Baptist Church (Ponca City )
Pastor Justin is a clergyman for Hospice Care, and great Godly man who fulfills all duties of a great pastor and minister. And gathers inspiration from great ministers like Alistair Begg and Charles Spurgeon.
Mark Buchanan - Pawhuska Bible Church (Pawhuska, ok )
Mark and Donna have been faithful pastors for many years. They have helped my family tremendously! I am so thankful for the good biblical teaching I receive from them!
Bryan Laramore - First Baptist (Cherokee, Ok. )
How does a pastor guide his congregation through Covid and a total remodeling project of the main sanctuary and classrooms and church offices? By the hand of God and with lots of prayer! Our pastor Bryan Laramore has led us through so much and still today we have folks coming through our doors from all over Northwest Oklahoma. His realness when he preaches touches lives of all ages. Oh, and did I mention all of this while shepherding a household full of women…..a beautiful, beautiful wife and four beautiful girls. All at home all under 15. Bryan has such a giving heart. He continues to study and learn and is pursuing his Doctorate degree….emphasis on Counseling. Our church is running over 200 for Sunday service, and the sanctuary is full! The most wonderful thing about it is that you can hear a baby cry and watch young families with little kids headed off to children’s church. We’ve been around for lots of years. This is my church I’ve come back to and it is so heartening to see it good and well and living and breathing.
We love our pastor. He loves us all…sinners as we are. And he and Whitney could use an evening out. I’ll even offer to babysit!!
Rick Haines - Plesantvale (Enid Oklahoma )
Pastor Rick preaches good News about Jesus. He always has a hug and a kind word for everyone. And he loves Our church family. He also helps out the salvation army in enid Oklahoma.
Pastor Rick also served in the Air force.We are blessed to have him share the word of God with us.
Wendy Fuller - Henderson Hills Baptist Church (Edmond, Oklahoma)
Wendy has offered our children and us an encouraging and smiling presence throughout my time being a part of Henderson Hills!
Kent Olds - Revolution Fellowship (Anthony. Ks)
He cares about everyone. He listens. He has awesome messages. Using scripture. He plans several community projects. Always willing to help you
Brandon Henry - The House Church (Pauls Valley, OK)
Pastor Brandon is the most amazing pastor I have ever had the privilege of worshipping under. He always has a smile and a big hug for everyone each and every service. He will tell you he is messed up just like the rest of us, and God is using him because he is willing, not because he's deserving. He doesn't set himself on a pedestal or think that he is closer to God than the rest of us, but just works hard at studying the Bible and preaching just what we need to hear, even if we don't always want to hear it. Because of his sincerity and commitment, our church started with a handful of believers in 2017, and has grown to a large church family in just a few years with hundreds of salvations and baptisms. Brandon keeps us focused on Believe, Belong, Become, and Be the Church, with lots of participation in community service events and showing Jesus to others through us. We love and appreciate Brandon so much for his hard work and commitment to our church body and desire to lead others to Christ!
Alan Seibel - Oakwood Christian Church (Enid, OK)
Alan has been there for me and my extended family multiple times over the years. He formed a relationship with my aging father, who didn't live in Enid and was never a member of Alan's congregation. This friendship ministered to my father and then to my siblings following my father's death. Alan is an amazing example of a Christian leader and Oakwood Christian Church is very blessed to have him as one of our pastors!
Christina Wilde - Life Church (Shawnee OK)
Christina is so good with the children of our church in raising them to become fully devoted followers of Christ. But she is also so intentional with the parents. I volunteer for her and my home has had some problems. Christina has been there for my family like no one else. She checks on us, prays for us and provides us with resources. We just love her!
Craig Bruyn - Graceway Baptist Church (Enid, OK)
Pastor Craig has been there for me for most of my life. He was my youth pastor and then became my pastor. Craig always knows what to say. He’s willing to answer any questions that I, or any church member, have. He preaches the Word, and he puts in ways that we can understand every part of it. He also cares deeply about our members. Having a pastor like Craig through the ups and downs of my life has been a major blessing to me. He has taught me so much about God, and continues to push me to be closer to Christ. I could never thank him enough for everything he has done for our church, and for me. He’s also the BEST Horseshoe partner!
John Dickey - Hillcrest Baptist Church (Stillwater, Oklahoma )
I am nominating my pastor, because I would like to give back to him for being a Godly, Bible teaching pastor. John strives to walk in the likeness of Jesus. He accepts everybody, no matter their financial status. He has a desire to lead people to Jesus and he challenges our congregation to draw closer to the Lord by reading our Bibles, serving others, using your spiritual gifts to glorify the Lord. He challenged our church to get involved in a Read Through The Bible In One Year program. That has made me more consistent in reading my Bible. He also encourages scripture memorization. I have been working on that as well. He's not afraid of admitting when he is wrong & he's truly genuine in his sermons. He and his wife, Georgann, have a God centered marriage. His family shows joy in their smiles and laughter. They have Godly characteristics that would make any unbeliever wonder what they have that makes them so joyful, thus opening an opportunity to share Jesus. He's going to be retiring soon. While I know the Lord will bring the right pastor to our church, John will be missed. I hope to bless him with this gift before he goes.
Jarrod Cloud - Enid First Assembly (Enid, Ok)
I've been in worship leadership at EFA for almost a year and a half now. Initially, I was just filling in to help them out, and somehow they kept me. I'm honored and truly blessed. About a year ago in August, we received a new pastor filling the shoes of the former pastor who had been in place for 21 years. Those are some hard shoes to fill. I've been in ministry most of my adult life in some form or another and when I can say right now that Enid First Assembly is my home... it truly is. Our pastor Jarrod and his staff work incredibly hard to reach out to the community of Enid in so many different ways. Through school ministry to our adoptive elementary, to the college, to the food ministry, community outreach .....the list goes on and on. Our pastor leads this church in a way like I've never seen to truly minister and reach out to those around us and those in need, especially those who need Jesus. However, just recently there was a great and dire need. A family in our church was taking care of five foster children. They had to move out of state and those children, who had been attending this church, were in jeopardy of being split up and ripped from what the know and love. Pastor Cloud and his wife didn't skip a beat offering their home to take in these five children to foster. They still had two daughters living at home and two that are in college and they have completely adjusted their lives and gone all in to support these kids. They had to move to get more space to provide a place for them, and they have given their all to love these children and provide a place for them. Not only does he minister to all of us in our church and this community in a huge huge way, but he and his wife now have taken in these precious children to raise as well. They do all of the selflessly and 💯 all in. They are the most amazing folks I've ever known and I'm proud to call them my pastors. I'm so honored to stand along side them to lead this church in a mighty way so that they may shine a bright light in this community and around the world. (and to our sister churches that we support in Peru!) I just feel that they definitely deserve the chance to be recognized. They are beautiful souls.
Adam Phillips - Ponca City Freewill Baptist (Ponca City, OK)
Pastor Adam is a true servant of God who loves people and genuinely leads by example. He works tirelessly to serve this community & he makes every individual feel welcomed and seen. He encouraged my walk with Christ by loving my family and by teaching pure Truth from God's Word.
Clayton Pappan - RiseUp (Newkirk, OK)
Pastor Clayton made a courageous decision almost two years ago to step out of the boat and follow Jesus. When Pastor Clayton felt the call to start a church in Newkirk, he had no alternate source of income, but remained obedient to God and knew that He would provide. He preaches in an expository style, which ensures that he doesn't pick and choose the verses in the Bible he likes. Even when he knows there will be times that people have issues with what the Word says, he remains faithful and boldly preaches the Word.
He is also there for his congregation in some of their lowest, and highest, moments. When my family found out that the children we were fostering would be returning to their biological family in a few days, I called Pastor Clayton to see if he would come pray over our family and the children that were returning to their family. He immediately showed up, prayed over the children and reminded them Who they belonged to.
Starting a brand new church involves a lot of a Pastor's time. I'd love for Pastor Clayton, and his family, to see that their sacrifice for God's kingdom has not gone unnoticed!
Larry Steverson - Heritage Family Baptist Church (Tuttle, OK )
I'm not good at this, he is just a great person and actually teaches, and his messages encourage you and draw you to study on them more throughout the week on your own, and I know without his encouragement through the years I don't know if I would be walking with the Lord as I am
Steve Weldon - Hope Community Church (Andover, KS)
I'm nominating my church's founding pastor for his incredible love for Jesus. He loves to tell people about Jesus and wish for all of us to find this love as well. Watching his passion of loving people so openly has helped my walk with Christ by helping in church as well. Loving on the littles and the widows hoping they see my love for Jesus as well.
Craig Bruyn - Graceway Baptist Church (Enid, OK)
I’m so blessed to have a pastor like Craig Bruyn. He preaches the Word, and will tell you what you may not want to hear only because he wants you to thrive and grow closer to Christ. Him and his wife Mandie have served our church wonderfully. I couldn’t imagine our church without them. Through the years, he has helped me grow closer to Christ in numerous ways. He always takes time to answer questions or talk about anything. I’m nominating Craig because he doesn’t get enough recognition for all that he does. Thank you for all you do, Craig-o!!
Zane Brooks - Wellington FreeWill Baptist (Wellington, KS)
This nomination is for a pastor that does his best to love everyone like Jesus would. He doesn’t just preach on a Sunday- he leads by example, telling the world about Gods Love day in and out. PZ makes it a mission to have open arms for those seeking to find out more and will contact those just to check in on their walk or appreciate their efforts in the church!
Joe Merrell - Erick First Baptist Church (Erick, Oklahoma )
Pastor Merrell has come out of retirement to help the church in the absence of a pastor. He brings the message with joy every week and is a great man of god!
Tony Cook - Northside Baptist Church (Lawton OK)

Raymond Gibbs - Market Place Church / Living Waters Assembly (Allen, OK)
He has been a great mentor and example in Christ. He has encouraged me in the Lord for many years as I make my journey to be closer to Christ. He has gotten rid of things over the years of his life to be a better example and focus his life more and more on Jesus. Him and his wife have worked hard and have gone through a lot of situations that should never have happened and many wrongful situations that have happened. Through the years, they have been faithful to God no matter what has come their way. They mean a lot to me and I am thankful to God that I know them.
Mark Hoover - NewSpring Church (Wichita, Kansas)

Josh Bush - Cross Point (Wichita, ks)
He has inspired the mission statement "everyone everywhere"
Nathan Howard - FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH (Prague, OK)
The Newman Family would love to thank Nathan for being there in our family's time of need. Nathan has been such a great role model to my two boys just by the act of kindness he has shown. Our family was homeless and without anything to eat. This great man opened up his church and community to us and loved us at the time we needed Jesus the most. He then came up with gifts to give my boys a Christmas last year. When we had nothing to give our little boys. They had such a wonderful Christmas and really got to spend the time learning about God. Nathan's Kindness we will never forget! Me and My wife got Baptized together at this church and are now strong in our faith. Nathan would message us every Sunday and check on us. He is an amazing man and we thank him for showing us the way to our father our lord and Savor.
Kevin Hisey - Open Door Church (Enid, Ok)
Kevin is a pastor that loves on the people of his church. He takes the time to talk to his congregation, pray for them, and offer encouragement. He is relatable and real. He doesn't mind sharing his life with us and lets us pray for him. He is approachable and kind. I believe God would want a pastor to be loving in spirit like Kevin is.
Kyle & Cheyenne Megenity - NewPoint Church (Ponca City, OK)
Kyle and Cheyenne are some of the best leaders you could ask for. They genuinely care for their congregation and have a big heart for reaching everyone in our community. They are always encouraging, praying, and discipling people through the services on Sunday, to the small groups, and small teams.
We need more people like them!
Brian and CaRanda Thiessen - Pathways Church (Yukon, OK)
Brian and CaRanda are such amazing pastors! They are so welcoming and genuine amazing humans! They have been there for me and my husband countless times in the short time we have been attending Pathways. They are both not afraid to say the hard things either.
Kyle and Cheyenne Megenity - Newpoint Church (Ponca City, OK)
My family started going to NewPoint church a little over a year ago now. We have loved it since the very first day! Kyle and Cheyenne put so much work into organizing and planning literally everything, so that it’s actually easy on the volunteers who are showing up expecting work. They go above and beyond! They do an awesome job of keeping everyone involved and informed. But the best part is how good they are at modeling God‘s word! They have been such a blessing in so many lives! We thank God for them, and pray He continues to bless them!
Guillermo and Jeanette Rivera - The Linked Church (Oklahoma City, OK)

Chase Parsons - Kingdom City Church (Oklahoma City, OK)
Our church has been through several devastating staff changes in the last 3 years & Pastor Chase has shouldered the burdens & the church all while also being Executive Director of the OKC Dream Center!

Brent Campbell - First Baptist Lahoma (Lahoma, OK)
Pastor Brent is dedicated to preaching straight from God's Word even when the text is challenging. He doesn't water down the message. He is a loving husband to his sweet wife and partner in ministry, Jade. In addition to delivering God's Word Sunday mornings, Brent leads worship, teaches adult Bible study and together, he & Jade teach on Wednesday nights. Brent & Jade have 3 children. Haddie just celebrated completion of chemo and is enjoying getting back to normal middle school activities. Ruby is fiercely competitive and loves animals. Judson, their youngest, loves popsicles, ice cream sandwiches and swinging. Through Haddie's diagnosis and with Judson's special needs, Brent and Jade have been able to minister to countless families. They are a huge blessing to our small church! As many other small church pastors, Brent often sacrifices time with his family to meet the needs of church members. I can't think of a more deserving family!
Jarrod Preslet - Ada First Free Will Baptist Church (Ada, OK)
It’s so hard to describe what Jarrod means to me because he means SO much. He’s not only my pastor, but one of my very best friends. We worship on our praise team together and get our family’s together often. This past year, he led our church to merge with another local church and it has been completely touched by God throughout. It has been a beautiful thing. Recently he lost his grandmother and has dealt with serious health issues with his dad, who he is extremely close to. His faith and perseverance through it all has been inspiring. I could say so much more. We are truly blessed to have him as our pastor and he very much deserved to be recognized and treated!
