In 2000, Pastor Jess Larson began his ministry at Sojourn Baptist Church as the church's youth pastor. Over the past 25 years, he has taken on the role of Senior Pastor of the church. He also taught multiple classes at Sojourn Academy (aka Oak Ridge Christian Academy), and was even Headmaster for a time.
Through the years and many different roles in our church and school, Pastor Jess has impacted countless lives. He has not just been a leader, but a friend to many.
I have had the privilege of knowing Pastor Jess all 25 years that he has served Sojourn. Throughout these years, I have seen him sacrifice so much for his ministry and his family. One of those sacrifices has come in the cars he has driven. He has always been thankful for his vehicles and doesn't complain, but we believe it's time he is blessed with something much nicer than he's driven in the past!
We are hoping to raise enough funds for Pastor Jess to purchase a brand-new (or almost new) vehicle. He has blessed so many others through his ministry, so we would love to return the favor to him!
"The elders who rule well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching." 1 Timothy 5:17
There are no words to express how much of an impact Pastor Jess has had on my life and the life of my family. I am so grateful to have known him since he came to the church in 2000. There are a lot of memories packed in those 25 years and I'm so glad God led him to our church!
Luke 10:2 Thank you for your life-long Commitment to the harvest!

It’s been a privilege to be a part of Sojourn Baptist for 22 years and to have Pastor Jess as my spiritual leader. I thank the Lord for how he has helped me grow in my faith.
Having Pastor Jess in our lives is a Blessing to our family and the Church. God Speed!
So thankful for Jess and his family. They deserve this!
