Jesse was born and raised in Midway, TN where he currently still resides. He grew up under his father's leadership as pastor of Bibles' Chapel Church where he committed his life to Christ when he was young. 

​

Jesse married his wife Lauren in 2012 and they have three children, Karis, Laney, and Grant. 

​

In 2013 at a Revival, God started dealing with Jesse's heart about planting a church in the area. The more he tried to avoid the call, the more burdened he became about seeing a different kind of church started to reach people with the Gospel. 

​

Through much prayer and preparation, and through God's great grace, this call became a reality in September of 2015 with the official launch of EnCompass Church.
