A Journey Toward Clarity and Calling
For Jeremy, faith wasn’t always a straight line. Growing up as a bit of a "religious mutt"—splitting time between a Pentecostal church and a fundamentalist Baptist school—he saw a confusing gap between the lessons taught in the classroom and the lives lived outside of it. Disillusioned by the discrepancy, Jeremy walked away from it all as a teenager.
Years later, while in college, Jeremy met his wife, Mary. They were living for the moment and enjoying the "carefree party life" when they received life-changing news: they were expecting their first child.
The birth of their son, Simon, became a catalyst for change. Seeking a new direction for their growing family, Jeremy and Mary walked into NewSpring Church in Anderson, SC. In 2009, they heard the Gospel presented with a clarity they had never experienced before. That year, they both decided to follow Jesus, trading their old lifestyle for a new foundation.
It wasn't long before Jeremy felt a distinct call to full-time ministry. He joined the NewSpring staff in 2017, where he earned his ministry license and honed his heart for pastoring. Over the years, he has become a frequent voice in preaching and teaching, driven by a deep love for the Word of God.
Nothing gets Jeremy more excited than watching someone’s eyes light up as they discover a truth in the Bible for the very first time. Today, Jeremy and Mary live in the joy of that discovery every day, raising their two children, Simon and Lillian.
