Senior Pastor

Jesse is a native Texan. He comes to the East Bay from pastoring in the shadow of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains. He studied at Westminster Seminary in Philadelphia (M.Div) and did graduate studies in American religious history at the University of Virginia. He is married to Jessica Wey, a Berkeley Bear and proud SoCal native. They have two children who are respectively crazy about construction sites and princesses.

Jesse loves ministering the Word of God in all its myriad forms, preaching, teaching, counseling, and encouraging God's people. He loves reading history and craves context. He enjoys the taste but not the pretense or price of good coffee, especially when it's enjoyed over a lively conversation about real things.
