Jeremy’s passion is helping to unlock personal spiritual growth, communal discernment, and societal peace and justice. Jeremy preaches with the Bible in one hand, and a news reader app on his phone in the other hand, in order to provide messages suitable for transforming the world of today. If we don’t share the biblical message of radical love and a vision of a more just and equitable community for today, then who will?

An ordained Elder in The United Methodist Church, Jeremy joined Edmonds UMC as Pastor in July 2024. Originally from Oklahoma, Jeremy has been the pastor of churches in Massachusetts, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Washington. Jeremy graduated from Oklahoma City University with a BA in Religion, and Boston University School of Theology with a Master of Divinity.

Along with being a pastor, Jeremy is best known for social media advocacy and his technology and faith blog Hacking Christianity, which has been featured on United Methodist news sources, National Public Radio, The Progressive Christian magazine, and Sojourners.  Jeremy received the Young Alumnus award from BU in 2011 and the Alumnus of the Year award from OCU in 2020, as well as a 2023 honor from Reconciling Ministries Network, in recognition of his ministry and online engagements

In his spare time, Jeremy geeks out over science fiction movies, Star Wars, tabletop games, and foodie spots across the north shore of Seattle. When the weather cooperates, Jeremy, his partner Chelsea, and their three young daughters like to go on day trips, hikes, and explore new places in the Pacific Northwest.
