Pastor of Middle School Youth & Altaer College Connection
Jen Howell
Jen has a unique blend of passion for ministry - she deeply desires that people both within and outside of the church learn the truth of who Jesus is and experience His heart.
Jen grew up in a mega-church in Orange County where she began to take her commitment to follow Jesus seriously, and it was there that she first heard the call to ministry. Jen spent several years serving in middle school ministry both there and in other churches during her college experience.
Jen graduate from Northwestern University in Chicago with a BS in Radio/Television/Film, and during her time there, grasped a deeper understanding of the Kingdom of God while she served with a campus ministry called InterVarsity. She was part of the Greek system, and this was her primary ministry focus and also a context in which she received much from Jesus.
Because middle school and college were pivotal times in Jen's faith journey, she has a tender heart for these ages. She earnestly desires that these students encounter Jesus in life-giving ways, and she understands some of the long-term effect of these ministries. She loves middle schoolers and college students alike because there is something about each of these places in life that, in different ways, contains curiosity and openness that is really exciting. Jen is thrilled to be a part of this ministry!
