John Jaskilka
OPERATIONS // MENS
I’m thrilled to serve Jesus at Morning Star Community Church. My family and I are very ordinary and we do our best to love Jesus, love each other, and love people. My greatest desire in ministry is to help people live out what they are passionate about in a way that honors Jesus and builds His Church.
I grew up a pastor’s kid who always enjoyed serving and being involved in several ministries in and around the church. These experiences prepared me for ministry and were built upon during my time studying the Bible at Corban University and Western Seminary as well as being a Student Ministries intern at Morning Star in the mid-2000’s.
After college, I married my best friend Betsey and we have four wonderful kids together (3 boys and 1 stong girl). As a family, we enjoy the summers most: bike rides, walks, swimming, picnics, playing sports with the kids, and anything else that brings us into the sun is what the Jaskilka squad wants to be doing. When it is not summer, we are watching and playing sports (go Ducks), but we always have an eye on flights and AirBnBs, hoping to chase down a good deal for some sunny weather.
As your Executive Pastor, you will always get my best. Before the Lord I will seek to care for you, listen to you, earn your trust, and help you fall more in love with Jesus while you are helping others do the same. There is no place that we would rather be than at Morning Star, seeking Jesus first with you all.
