Jessica serves as an Associate Children's Pastor and Director of KidsLife, New Life's weekly and special event children's ministry. Jessica has a passion for meeting the practical needs of children and their families, as well pastoring people through difficult circumstances.

Jessica grew up in the ministry and has been ministering to people her whole life. Jessica graduated from Oral Roberts University in 2003 with a degree in Pastoral Care with an emphasis in Counseling. Jessica's husband Brad, twin sister Christine King, brother Daniel Grothe, and parents David and Becky Grothe are also pastors at New Life, so every day at work can, and often does, turn into a miniature family reunion.

Jessica and Brad have three amazing children - Braden, Emma, and Smith.
