Pastor Jared, his wife Tara, and two of his three daughters  come to us from South Eastern Idaho. In 2004, shortly after their first daughter was born the Lord graciously saved both Jared and Tara in a small Baptist church in Cedar City, Utah. After a few years of walking with Jesus, Jared began to have a persistent desire to become a Pastor.

His call seemed to be confirmed while having the honor to serve as an associate Pastor for three years at a small church plant in Kanab, UT. It had also became evident while in Kanab that they both desired to be better equipped to serve God's people.

The Lord providentially opened the door for their family to move to Southern California where Jared was ultimately able to acquire a BA in Biblical Counseling from the Master's College. Tara was also able to attend various lay-counseling courses offered by the professors at Masters.

After College, both Jared and Tara served in various capacities at Alpine Bible Church in Lehi, UT for six years. The Lord called Jared to serve as the senior pastor of Falls Baptist church in 2018 where he and his family faithfully served until 2022. They are very excited about God's providential leading in bringing them to Green Mountain Bible Church to serve His people and proclaim the Gospel!
