Hal Jenks has served as Outreach Coordinator since 2001. He holds a Graduate of Theology Degree and Christian Education Certificate from L.I.F.E. Bible College. Since that time, Hal and his wife, Esther, have been involved in various church and youth ministries, and have four grown children, and seven grandchildren. Hal’s burden is to reach out to Longmont and the surrounding areas (our “Jerusalem”, see Acts 1:8) with the good news that any one of us can know for certain, that if our life were to end unexpectedly, we would be prepared to meet our creator (I John 5:13). And further, that if we truly “follow Christ, He will make us to become fishers of men.” (Matthew 4:19). One of Hal’s favorite verses is “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast!” (Ephesians 2:8,9).
