A Word From Pastor Jessie

I began as the Pastor for Christ Our Anchor in February of 2016, and am thrilled to be here! I feel strongly that God was a part of bringing me and this church together. To tell you a bit about myself, I grew up in Prince George’s County with my twin sister and my wonderful parents. Now I live with my husband Jason and we have been married since 2012. I studied Sociology in college, and came to the realization that I wanted to be a minister the year after I graduated. I graduated from Princeton Theological Seminary with a Masters of Divinity Degree in 2008 and was ordained as a Presbyterian minister in 2011. I believe with all my heart that congregations play a huge role in social justice and peace.

I worked as an Interfaith Chaplain at CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh, New York for three years after graduating seminary and was proud to be a part of creating a formal Pastoral Care program that ministered to everyone, regardless of faith background. It is important to me for people to know that I was raised secular. I never attended any church until I found my way into a youth group in junior high, and it has transformed my life ever since. Having many people close to me who are not church-goers helps me to ensure that I am relevant, down to earth and non-judgmental in my ministry.

A few other things to know about me just for fun:

  • I have been skydiving— with my dad! I am not necessarily a thrill seeker, but I love to try new things!
  • There is almost nothing better to me than good conversation over a hot cup of coffee or a glass of red wine.
  • Something I really enjoy is bikram yoga, or yoga of any kind!
  • I am a voracious reader (I’m on Goodreads!) and welcome any recommendations you have.

I have been met with a warm and authentic welcome at this church, and I know that if you come check us out, you will be as well!
