Lafayette Community Church
Staff & Leaders

Jeff Mikels

Born in Colorado, and raised in California as the son of a Pastor, Jeff came to the midwest for college and received a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics and Philosophy from Wheaton College. But don’t let the degree fool you. He’s not your typical anti-social math nerd! Jeff has always had a passion for helping others get closer to God, so after graduating, he and Jen moved to Denver where he completed the Master of Divinity program at Denver Seminary and was recognized by professors and peers for his gift of communicating the relevance of God’s Word for today both through personal counseling and public preaching. After spending five years in Chicago as a pastor, Jeff and his wife Jennifer followed God’s call to Lafayette in 2006 to plant a church on the southside of the city. Lafayette Community Church is now a thriving community of believers committed to helping people find full life in Christ.
