INTRODUCING

THE JENSENS

Welcome our New Modern Worship Director On March 22, 2010, LGPC extended an offer to Jared Jensen to become our Modern Worship Director.

Thanks to God, Jared felt God’s leading that Lake Grove Presbyterian Church was the

right next chapter in his ministry life.

The Modern Worship Director is a new leadership position at LGPC. Jared will provide worship leadership for our 8:00 a.m. service and will also

be a central leader in our new 4th service which will begin September 11, 2010.

Keep Jared in your prayers; he has quite a bit to do! He has a little more than 160 days to get to know our church, (cont. p. 3)

L E Y TO N ( 4 Y E A R S )

EVIE (3 YEAR S)

put together a team, and launch a new worship service. But we believe Jared has it in him! Jared has successfully started multiple new worship endeavors at 3,000member churches in Omaha, NE, Phoenix, AZ and in Yakima WA. Introducing The Jensens cont.

Jared impressed our interview team with his deep love for Jesus Christ and His church, as well as a love for and knowledge of Reformed Theology. Jared will lead us in worship in a way that will build bridges to those we aren’t reaching and yet feel congruent with the excellent musical experience we’ve become familiar at Lake Grove Pres. We think Jared’s worship leadership and musical direction will be “familiarly different” to members and friends of LGPC. Take the time to get to know Jared and his family, and we think you’ll agree with us in our assessment that Jensen and his family are a great fit for the L.G.P.C. family. If you would like to find out more about getting involved with our 4th service endeavor feel free to email Jared at... jaredj@lakegrovepres.org
