Baltimore Baptist Examiner | Bio
Find out more about Jeff:

Jeff has a B.A. in religion from Baylor University, and an M.Div. from Truett Theological Seminary. He served as an executive pastor of a thriving church in inner-city Baltimore from 2004 to 2009. Jeff loves and cares deeply for Baltimore, believing it’s a wonderful place with amazing potential; at the same time, his heart breaks for Baltimore -- crime, addiction, and generational poverty are off the charts, the education system is failing, and an entire generation of inner city youth is being lost. Jeff left his position as pastor to join a small team of people in the Hamilton neighborhood who are passionately striving to rethink what it means to be the church in Baltimore. Jeff would love your feedback.
