Meet our Youth Pastors

Mary and Jearred have been together for 22½ years and are blessed with three wonderful children and one amazing granddaughter. Family and faith are at the center of their lives, and they are passionate about investing in the next generation. Mary has faithfully served in children’s ministry for the past eight years, while Jearred has been actively involved as a middle school youth mentor. Together, they have stepped into leading our youth ministry and have already hit the ground running with excitement, energy, and a heart for young people. of ministry, they enjoy spending time with their family at the beach, camping, and making memories together. Jearred especially loves fishing and cooking and is well known around OC as the grilling master.

Mary and Jearred are passionate about helping youth grow in their faith and develop a strong relationship with Christ. Their vision for the youth ministry includes participating in community festivals where the youth will sell baked goods, attending youth camp this summer, and leading activities during Vacation Bible School (VBS).

Looking toward the future, they hope to organize mission trips and create opportunities for students to serve their community. Their goal is to help young people become strong disciples of Christ who live out their faith by serving others—whether through outreach projects, community service, or visiting local nursing homes.

Mary and Jearred are excited about what God has in store and look forward to walking alongside the youth as they grow in faith, leadership, and service.
