Jason Salyers

Pastor Jason recently joined us as our Senior Pastor. Before arriving here in the Twin Cities area, he pastored churches in Tennessee and Georgia where he was ordained. With more than 10 years of professional ministry experience, Pastor Jason has served in a wide variety of ministry areas including traditional parish ministry, collegiate ministry and law enforcement. Pastor Jason earned a B.A. in Theology from Southern Adventist University, an M.Div. from the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary and is currently completing his Doctorate in Ministry from Regent University in Virginia. He also holds certifications in Personal Development Coaching through ICF; Critical Incident Stress Management through ICISF; Pre-marital and marriage enrichment assessing through Prepare/Enrich; and a TN state P.O.S.T. certification for Law Enforcement Officers. Pastor Jason and his wife Mindy (who is a professional school counselor) married on Nov. 20, 2005 and are the proud parents of Brynlie Cate who entered their lives on Sept. 25, 2011. They are also the dog parents to a gentle, yet not too well-behaved Golden Retreiver named Farley.
