STUDENT+CARING ADULT+JESUS=GOOD STUFF

THIS IS OUR STUDENT MINISTRY FORMULA. IT'S NOT MAGIC, ITS NOT ALGEBRAIC, BUT IT IS PROVEN. WE KNOW THAT WHEN JESUS AND A CARING ADULT ARE INVOLVED IN THE LIFE OF A STUDENT, GOOD STUFF HAPPENS. CONTACT JACOB IF YOU'D LIKE TO CONSIDER BEING ONE OF THOSE CARING ADULTS.

STUDENT MINISTER

​I began my ministry with Ridgeview Christian Church in the summer of 2017 as a student ministry intern. I loved it so much that I came back again in the summers of 2018 and 2019 then became the full-time student minister in January of 2020. I grew up in Willard, Missouri and moved to Rolla in 2016 to study Engineering Management at Missouri S&T. I've been married to my wife Jaiden since 2021! She is a paraprofessional at Truman Elementary School and you'll see her frequently at youth group. 
 
I love spending time outdoors fishing, kayaking, hunting, etc. I am a huge fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs (in that order). I also love spending time with our adult leaders - during youth group and outside of youth group. Ridgeview Student Ministry is great because of the caring adults who choose to show up and spend time investing in students every week!
