Upon graduation, he attended The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary before serving as an associate pastor at Redemption Hill in Georgetown and has been the lead pastor here at Christ Church since 2021.
He and his wife, Jessica, have three children and one very happy dog. They enjoy Astros baseball, good reads and time with their church family.

Josh Dow

He is married to Amber and they have two young boys. He serves the church in the areas of finance, administration, and facilities, and when necessary has been known to dig the occasional ditch.
Jesse leads the music team as a drummer. He began worship leading as part of the team that planted Sovereign Grace Church, Sydney Australia in 2010, as a newly-wed to his Texan wife, Liz. In 2018 they immigrated to Texas and joined Redemption Hill, Georgetown and relocated to Conroe in 2021 to join Christ Church, the church Liz attended as a teenager.
Jesse strongly believes churches should passionately sing timeless truths from scripture. He is grateful for the rich heritage of song at Christ Church, along with the gifted songwriters at Sovereign Grace Music, producing music to glorify Christ and edify His Body.
He lives with his wife and five children on their homestead in Conroe where they enjoy farming and the outdoors.
