Senior minister: jeremiah byers

Jeremiah received his physical education degree from MacMurray College in 2004. But feeling God’s call to ministry, he attended Lincoln Christian University, where he completed his Masters of Divinity degree in 2009. Jeremiah met his wife, Ashley, at MacMurray College and they were married in 2006. She holds a degree in deaf education but currently serves her family as a homemaking mom. They were blessed with the birth of a son, Abram, in August of 2008 and a daughter, Adah, in July of 2014. Jeremiah was ordained into the ministry in 2009 and has served as a Children & Family minister for the last 6 ½ years in Illinois. Jeremiah is wildly passionate about presenting the Gospel to any audience. God has gifted him with a thirst for knowledge, an ability to provide fresh perspective, and fervor for communicating uncompromising, Biblical truth.


Jeremiah loves competition; whether games, sports, or contests; enjoys experiencing new things, social interaction, making people laugh, being sarcastic, spending time with his family, and exercising to keep the fat at bay. He is a die-hard St. Louis Cardinals fan, and to his wife’s reluctance, loves watching football, playoff hockey, March madness and golf.
