Jacob jokingly says that he ‘grew up sleeping under church chairs at late night services.’ And while this is a funny reality, as a pastors kid, he has seen the ins and outs, the ups and downs, of ministry from a young age. This allowed him to grow up with a deep love for the church, and the people that serve it.

Jacob has served in church since he was a toddler. He made the decision in high school to audition for his church worship team after being approached by different pastors and friends asking him if he sang, which he didn’t. He made the team and served faithfully every Sunday and Wednesday for years.

When it came time for college, he toured different Christian schools, but ultimately decided to go to SEU after a radical encounter with the Lord at one of their worship nights. Very quickly he joined SEU Worship and served faithfully as a student for 2 years. At the beginning of his junior year, he was approached by the Campus Pastor and manager of SEU Worship, inquiring if he would ever want to be apart of the artist team, and join full time staff. With an eager heart, he took the leap of faith and went fully online, moved off campus, and joined staff. He served in his role for nearly 3 years, 2 of those years still as a student. He graduated on time with a degree in Business.

Right before getting married, Jacob and Camryn started praying about what it could look like to do ministry together. Around that same time, their pastors started talking to them about a ‘hypothetically confidential’ scenario in which they could all work together, building a ministry, in a church they would plant. After weeks of prayer and fasting, the couple gave their ‘YES’ to what God would begin doing in the greater Las Vegas area.
