I am an authentic, loyal, compassionate, and adventurous follower of Jesus who radically pursues transformation into Christlikeness for myself and others. That might sound a bit strange as an introduction but that is an identity statement that describes who I am and what I do. As a curriculum developer and coach for Renovation Ministries, my desire is to see others discover and live from that kind of identity. I want to inspire and encourage others to firmly plant their feet on a journey toward complete heart transformation so that they can experience the abundant life that Jesus offers to all who put their trust in him. I also welcome those who are not yet willing to trust in him and will respectfully help them navigate the challenges in their life with the hope that they will experience his love for them through me.

Relevant experience includes:

• Director, curriculum developer, and Coach for all Renovation Trainings.

• Graduated from VLI (Vineyard Leadership Institute) in 2005.

• Co-Facilitator of VLI from 2005-2008.

• Former Marriage Ministry Pastor at Vineyard Boise.

I was seventeen years old when I made a life long commitment to invest into the lives of teens. I have followed through on that commitment and have never looked back. I love living in alignment with who I was created to be and I want to see young people experience the same assurance that I have. If you asked me who I am today I would easily be able to answer: “I am an adored, surrendered, confident and joy-filled daughter God, called to invest and help others find their true identity, value and significance.”

I direct and serve regularly as a Coach at our Renovation Trainings as well as having worked with youth for over 30 years. I look forward to many more years to come.

It has been a pleasure to serve with Greg and Sharon at Renovation Ministries since 2016.  Through what they are doing, I have personally come to a deeper understanding of my identity as an adored, bold, courageous, trusting woman of God.  The disappointments of life had tried to wear away at this truth and affect what I believed about how I could thrive within and impact the world.  The process of Renovation Ministries provides the space and tools to reflect on who one truly is and how to live authentically from that reality.  As a daughter of missionary parents living in various parts of the world, I have seen both the depths of hurt and the amazing possibilities of restoration and redemption that are available in Christ.  I absolutely love watching and participating in the process of a person finding hope, joy, and peace regardless of what they have experienced in the past.

Relevant experience includes:

• Serves as Coach Assistant (CA) for Teen Renovation and Marriage Renovation
• Ordained pastor serving in women’s ministry and co-leading small group ministry at Harvest Life Church, Nampa
• Graduated from Valley Supernatural School of Ministry
• Graduated with a minor in Biblical Studies from Biola University

Renovation Ministries has changed my life for the better and I am blessed to be a part of it as it continues to transform lives and hearts within the community.

Jared has been serving as a youth leader at Discovery Church in Boise since 2001. When he married Rachelle in 2012, he initially had to talk her into volunteering alongside him. She was reluctant at first, but to her surprise, Rachelle ended up discovering a love for teens and a passion for helping young people to grow in their faith. In 2015, the Renovation Ministries Coaches invited Jared and Rachelle to serve as Coach Assistants for a Teen Renovation training. After that, they were hooked! They have since volunteered at as many Teen Renovation trainings as possible. They also attended Marriage Renovation in 2018 and Formation Renovation in 2019. In 2019, Rachelle accepted a position as the Creative Director for the Renovation Ministries staff. In 2020, both Jared and Rachelle enthusiastically joined the Renovation Ministries board.
