Jamie started preaching at the age of 17 for a weekly service at his public high school. His desire is for people to know Jesus, know the word, and how to navigate the rapidly changing culture that American Christians find themselves in. Along with being the Co-Lead Pastor at Hillvue Heights Church, he has been teaching worldview classes for the last ten years because, he says, “Understanding worldviews can make it so much easier to share Christ with the culture.” He wants people to know what they believe and why they believe it. This life is a short-term mission trip!
