Jerry is in his 23rd year as the Lead Pastor at The Chapel in Buffalo, NY, and he desires to make sure the Church in that region is leveraged for God’s mission of “every man, woman, and child having a repeated opportunity to hear and see the gospel of Jesus Christ.” Jerry is also a co-founder of Christ Together, a national network working toward gospel saturation in over 100 cities in North America. He received his Doctor of Ministry from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, Master of Divinity at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, and a Bachelor of Arts in Speech Communication at the University of Georgia.

Throughout Western New York, Southern Ontario and Northwestern Pennsylvania, Pastor Jerry appears weekly on The Chapel’s Sunday morning program on WKBW-TV, the ABC affiliate.
