Hey Bethany!
I want to start by saying that Julie, the girls, and I are really excited to be part of your family, working together to spread the Gospel, and be part of your community. I suspect that this ministry, in this culture, is going to be an adjustment for me. While Julie, my wife of 17 years, was born in New Haven and grew up in Lakeville, MA, I am a Midwest boy from the start. From what Julie tells me, this transition will be worth it. If everyone is like her, I canât disagree.
Iâve been a Pastor for 13 years now. After graduating from Concordia Seminary St. Louis, we moved to Ogden, UT to serve Godâs people there. In December 2010, we started our ministry at Zion in St. Charles, MO. Now itâs your turn.
I have three girls. Berkley (16) is a Junior at Simsbury High School and runs Cross Country. Charlotte (14) is in 8th Grade at Henry James and plays lacrosse and basketball. Hazel (10) owns Latimer Lane elementary (youâll know why soon) from the 4th grade classroom and loves life. Oh, and we have a dog too. His name is Moses. He is a two year old black mini labradoodle.
Julie is an amazing stay at home mom and wife, moonlighting as a D-1 Womenâs Lacrosse official in the Spring. She loves to run, puts amazing food on our table, and makes me a better man/husband/father.
I was given a million questions to consider sharing answers to with you. I chose five. Here they are:
Bonus question: If I could pick someone to narrate my life, who would it be? Probably Morgan Freeman, but the director/producer would be Ken Burns. I love his stuff.
God bless,
Pastor Jason
