Jacob has been a part of Immanuel since the day he was born and has always felt that Immanuel is home, which has heavily influenced his pursuit of a life of ministry. After his experiences as an Isaiah Project Intern, a short-term missionary to Haiti, a worship leader, a staff member at Camp Loucon, and the Assistant Youth Minister at Immanuel, he is overjoyed to continue at Immanuel as the full-time Youth Minister. When he is not serving at Immanuel, he spends as much time as possible with his wife Miranda, their daughter Parker, and their twin boys, Jameson and GIbson. If you need a conversation starter, he is always waiting to share his unnatural knowledge of random movie facts and his fandom of musical artists you have never heard of.
