PASTORING PIONEERS & CULTIVATING FIELDS

Jesus arrested and apprehended Jeff’s life as a boy. Regrettably, his teen years were marked by a selfish life living in the “far country” and running away from God. Thankfully (and only by the grace of God), Jeff came to his senses and returned to the Lord in his twenties. Soon after, he heard and pursued a call to pastoral and pioneering ministry. Jeff earned his Bachelors of Business Administration from Stetson University in 1986, and his M. Div. from Asbury Theological Seminary in 2001. He served a number of congregations before planting OakLeaf Christian Fellowship (now Maranatha Church of Jacksonville) with his wife and four kids in 2003.

Jeff serves on a number of international ministry boards, including Frontier Alliance International, Cornerstone International, the Malachi Network, and Dugit Messianic Center. He continues to serve Maranatha Church of Jacksonville as Founding Pastor. Jeff has a deep passion for reaching the lost—near and far—wherever and whenever. Jeff’s ministry today focuses on the health and well-being of missionaries and pioneers worldwide. He also longs to see the Body of Christ in America revived, awakened, and readied to expend itself for the completion of the Great Commission. Maranatha!
