Jared Schroeder - Guest Pastor
Jared Schroeder is the pastor of Lafayette Community Church in Lafayette, OR for the past six years. He grew up in McMinnville, OR, in a family of avid hunters and fishermen, graduating from McMinnville High School in 2004. While attending Linfield University, in his second year, he received Christ as his Savior and was called to ministry. God opened doors for him to become an intern at Lafayette Community Church working closely with the youth pastor and soon after was offered the position. For over ten years he served as youth pastor followed by a couple years as assistant pastor as the church’s needs arose. When the founding pastor of the church retired, the church voted to place Jared as senior pastor. He is passionate about the word of God and the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ to transform lives. He is husband to his wife, Kenya and father to two sons, ages 12 and 10, and a daughter, age 5. Jared enjoys being outdoors in God’s creation fishing, back packing, and camping with his family.
