One of his long-term dreams is for the church to produce and record original worship music by 2026.

Julius is dedicated to mentoring the worship team, using a well-established process that emphasizes authentic relationships and gradual leadership development. His pastoral gifts include preaching, motivating, mobilizing people for projects, and providing pastoral care and outreach. He is excited to bring these skills to Church in the Palms and is passionate about seeing the church grow in its worship and outreach to the local community.

Jenny brings a lifetime of faith and service to her role as Administrative Assistant at Church in the Palms. Raised in Elkhart Indiana in a devout Christian family, Jenny grew up attending church every Sunday, with a strong legacy of ministry in her family. Her grandfather served as a Church of God pastor throughout his life, and her father ministered to a small community in need of God’s Word. Jenny enjoys spending time with others, whether through playing games or finding great shopping deals, always looking for ways to connect and bring joy to those around her.

Jenny’s faith journey began at age 8 when she accepted Jesus as her personal Savior during a Sunday service. Over the years, her relationship with God deepened, particularly through the loss of her second son—a tragedy that strengthened her reliance on God’s grace. Jenny has served in various ministries, including teaching Sunday School and Vacation Bible School, leading Bible studies for junior high students, singing on worship teams, and working in missions and hospitality. She believes her gifts of hospitality, teaching, serving, and prayer equip her to answer God’s call wherever He leads.
