About Jeremy and Jennifer
Pastor Jeremy grew up in a family of preachers and cowboys. He has always had a sense of adventure, trying everything from singing in a rock ‘n’ roll band to starting his own business and breaking 3 ribs on a bull named Spitfire. But no matter where he went or what he did, God's calling on his life became something Pastor Jeremy couldn't ignore. After 15 years of following a passion to reach people for Jesus, God led Pastor Jeremy and Pastor Jennifer to Houston and gave them the vision to start Hope City. Since Hope City’s launch in 2015, Pastor Jeremy and the love of his life, Jennifer, have been loving God, loving people, and loving life together. Together, they have five children - Jayden, Jeselyn, Jillian, Jackson, and the newest member of the family, Josiah!
