We have seen many new faces around Veritas Church! Praise God! We know that it can be hard to get to know leadership sometimes, so we thought that it would be fun to do a blog series introducing each staff member and a few fun facts about them. This week we want to introduce you to Jacob Warren, our Lead Pastor.

What first brought you to Veritas?
I led worship at Veritas’ first public worship gathering in September of 2013 and immediately fell in love with the people here. My wife Kylie and I then quit our jobs and moved down to join staff and help plant the church the following spring.

Tell us about your role at Veritas.
I serve as the Lead Pastor of Veritas Church, and with my particular giftings my role is unique. I lead the staff and elder teams while also preaching and leading one of the bands that lead worship during the Sunday Gatherings. I love the place that Jesus has brought me to with my role in his church and I’m growing more comfortable in the ways he has gifted me.

What are some of your hobbies?
I love to hunt, take my boys fishing, and go on hikes with Kylie (and I recently got a kayak). I also have a band that plays around Fayetteville that plays a lot of original songs that I’ve been lucky enough to write.

What’s your favorite beverage?
Either a cup of light roast coffee or a good unfiltered IPA.

What is the last fiction book that you read?
That Hideous Strength by C.S. Lewis, it’s a part of his fantastic space Trilogy. The first two books were better in my opinion but this book brings everything together.
