Jodi has been the lead pastor at her church for nearly a decade, and she loves the variety that comes with being a solo pastor in a small town. She credits the extensive training, encouragement, and mentoring she received—and continues to receive—from leaders throughout the Covenant for being where she is today. “Because of their impact, I am able to serve,” she says.
She continues that investment by mentoring future leaders. Ceresco Covenant is a popular internship destination for North Park Theological Seminary students, in part because of the leadership training and opportunities for ministry that Jodi provides.
