Jesse is originally from the DFW area. He graduated from The University of Texas at Arlington (B. A. in English) where he also played baseball. He then graduated from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (Master of Divinity in Systematic Theology) and Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary (Master of Theology, Ph.D. in Historical Theology). A revised version of his doctoral dissertation is published by Lexham Academic Press in the Studies in Historical and Systematic Theology series, entitled Carl F. H. Henry on the Holy Spirit. He has also contributed to numerous academic and pastoral journals and publications.
Before coming to West Conroe, Jesse served in pastoral ministry for over ten years in the north Texas area, most recently as a senior pastor near the Texas–Oklahoma border. He has a passion for preaching God’s word, building relationships, investing in others, and seeing the gospel carried to the ends of the earth. He loves to read, spend time with his family, and root for his Dallas sports teams even here in the Houston area.
Jesse is married to Marissa and they have three daughters.
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:12-14
