She loves facilitating the growth of others towards Our Savior by providing opportunities for discipleship and service. She is skilled in systems organization, community assessment and outreach ministries. Ultimately, empowering the local church to be the hands and feet of Jesus in their community.

 She is a graduate of Eastern Nazarene College (’07 Biology) Case Western Reserve University (’10 & 13 Nursing). She has served at Valley Worship Center Church of the Nazarene in Syracuse, NY where she became passionate about community outreach and compassionate ministries.

 Jennie has considered being a wife and mom the highest blessing and calling in her life. It is God who has called her and equipped her whole family and she considers this a partnership in ministry. She could not do this without the love and support of her husband, Tennyson. Her highest calling, joy and growth in grace is being “mom” to Adaleigh, Brooke, Shiloh, and Charles. She is thankful for  the faithfulness of God and continued growth in grace filled, God equipped life and ministry. 

 Hebrews 13:20-21: Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
