A Ministry Entrusted and Passed On

Jeff was discipled, trained, and mentored by Bob Hoekstra while serving as his assisting pastor. During that season, Bob encouraged Jeff to carry forward these biblical studies, teaching them faithfully and relationally—just as Paul exhorted Timothy.

“The things that you have heard from me among many witnesses, commit these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” — 2 Timothy 2:2 (NKJV)

These seminars reflect that spiritual lineage: Christ-exalting, grace-centered, Scripture-sufficient, and pastorally applied.

Jeff teaches a wide range of seminar series that can be adapted to your setting and schedule, including:

Flexible Teaching Formats

The goal is always the same: to build up the saints and exalt Christ (Ephesians 4:11–16).

Local Church Commitment

Jeff serves as the senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Fellowship. His church leadership team is spiritually mature and fully capable of overseeing Sunday ministry while Jeff travels. Their generosity and shared vision have made this broader teaching ministry possible.

“So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another.” — Romans 12:5 (NKJV)

Ministry Philosophy & Financial Considerations

There is no required honorarium. Each host church or organization is encouraged to handle financial matters prayerfully and freely, allowing the Lord to provide as He sees fit. This may include:

• Love offerings
• Honorariums
• Optional registration fees
• Ministry resource tables

These seminars reflect that spiritual lineage: Christ-exalting, grace-centered, Scripture-sufficient, and pastorally applied.
