Jenny serves as the main administrator and receptionist at Vintage Faith Church. She is the"hub" of all the activity in the office, helping to greet visitors, coordinate events, answer phones, book the facility and oversee many other administrative tasks.

Jenny was born and raised in Santa Cruz County.  She enjoyed growing up with her three older brothers and a plethora of cousins.  At the age of 16, Jenny’s sister-in-law brought her to a church called Graceland.  Within weeks of attending Graceland, she was compelled to join a new ministry opportunity – The Homeless Outreach.  For a year and a half, Jenny spent every Friday night passing out sack lunches and hanging out with the homeless in downtown Santa Cruz.  This opportunity to serve led Jenny to make Graceland, and eventually Vintage Faith Church, her home community.  In the years that followed, Jenny served on a number of ministry teams, including the coffee team and the college ministry. Jenny eventually found her passion with the Global ministry team.  

In 2004, Jenny spent six months serving with Youth With A Mission.  She studied in Switzerland, worked at a Refugee Camp in Greece, and served local schools and orphanages across India.  Upon her return to Santa Cruz, she began serving more regularly on the Global team, where she helped organize and lead trips to Mexico and Uganda. 

Jenny loves people and drinking tea from The Abbey. She also enjoys traveling, learning about new cultures, and spending time with her family – she can usually be found at a weekend worship gathering surrounded by her cousins. She credits her family for teaching her to love people the way Jesus would and finds great joy in watching her four young nephews and nieces learn this lesson.
